This species climbs in trees and shrubs along riverbanks (“bank grape”) and prefers deep alluvial soils, but does not do well in calcareous soils (i.e., prefers acid soils), and its shallow roots make it susceptible to drought—a trait it also confers on the rootstocks derived from ...

Mangrove ecosystems themselves often resist invasion of other NNS, because the harsh saline conditions do not allow most other invasive plants and trees to establish (Lugo1998). However, non-native mangroves in Hawai‘i have facilitated the establishment of other NNS, such as the Samoan crab (Scy...
In the absence of these fires, trees reappeared on land not in cultivation and, if undisturbed, eventually formed woodlots. The earlier unbroken landscape gave way to independent farms, each fenced off in a precise checkerboard pattern. It was an artificial ecosystem of animals, woodlots, and ...

Lowbush blueberry fields are developed by the removal of trees in the forests, allowing the natural understory lowbush blueberry plants to grow vegetatively and flower [25]. Periodic burning of fields (traditional cultural method) or herbicide applications allow continued growth of blueberry plants...
