Functional morphology underlies performance differences among invasive and non-invasive ruderal Rubus species.

Abstract excerpt

The ability of some introduced plant species to outperform native species under altered resource conditions makes them highly productive in ecosystems with surplus resources. However, ruderal native species are also productive when resources are available. The differences in abundance among invasive and non-invasive ruderal plants may be related to differences in ability to maintain access to or store resources...
