Introduced weed richness across altitudinal gradients in Hawai'i: humps, humans and water-energy dynamics

2010-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Native species richness commonly declines with increasing altitude, but patterns of introduced species richness across altitudinal gradients have been less frequently studied. We surveyed introduced roadside weeds along altitudinal transects ranging from 30 to 4,100 m in Hawai'i, with the objectives of (1) testing the hypothesis that a mass effect due to mixing of tropical and temperate species at mid-elevation pr...
