Abstract:Changes in precipitation patterns are one of the most pervasive components of climate change. It has been suggested that the increased frequency of extreme drought and flooding events could affect the outcome of competition between native and invasive plants. However, empirical evidence for this prediction remains scarce.
We combined controlled experiments and field observations in a freshwater floodplain to assess how drought and flooding events affect growth and biomass production of a native and an invasiv… Show more
