Native And Exotic Plant Species Exhibit Similar Population Dynamics During Succession, Scott J. Meiners
Native And Exotic Plant Species Exhibit Similar Population Dynamics During Succession, Scott J. Meiners
Scott J. Meiners
A growing body of literature has led to the debate in invasion biology whether exotic species perform within communities differently than native taxa due to inherent advantages. To address this issue, the population dynamics of native and exotic plant species were assessed from a 48-year record of permanent plot data from the Hutcheson Memorial Forest Center (New Jersey, USA) to determine rate of increase, lag time, maximum frequency, and the year of peak frequency. Overall, native and exotic species exhibited very similar population dynamics. Rates of increase and length of lag times were similar between native and exotic taxa but …
