Roles of Plant Traits and Nutrient Availability in Predicting Species Invasion
Principal Investigator: Elsa Cleland
Invasive species are a threat to biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. This research investigates whether nitrogen addition would allow invasion regardless of functional traits, due to decreased competition for this limiting resource.
