Mechanisms of Invasive Plant Success in the Pacific Northwest

Purpose

Research is devoted to identifying the physiological mechanisms by which invasive alien plants achieve their greater relative competitive success. Study plants include native and alien species of Rubus (blackberry) and Cirsium (thistle). In order to qua

Seed Predation of Gleditsia species.

Purpose

Put out some seed caches of Gleditsia pods and observe their predation and removal over a short time period. These will be approximately 1 meter square in size at three locations: 1- an open area, 2- older forest stand, 3-young forest stand.
