Natural and human dimensions of a quasi-wild species: the case of kudzu

2011-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The human dimensions of biotic invasion are generally poorly understood, even among the most familiar invasive species. Kudzu (Pueraria montana (Lour.)

Here, we review a large body of primary scientific and historic records spanning thousands of years to...
