Management Experiments on Lake Erie Flowering Rush
Invasive aquatic species of plants have caused great harm to Great Lakes ecosystems by limiting habitat availability and altering community structure. Flowering Rush (Butomus umbellatus L.) is an invasive currently threatening Lake Erie wetlands. The aim of this study is to understand the response o...
