Flow regulation reduces native plant cover and facilitates exotic invasion in riparian wetlands

2011-04-01

Abstract excerpt

1. River regulation and exotic plant invasion threaten riverine ecosystems, and the two often co-occur. By altering water regimes, flow regulation can facilitate plant invasion by providing conditions that directly benefit invading species, or by reducing competition from native species unsuited to the modified conditions. Integrating water and weed management has the potential to limit riparian plant invasion and...
