Weed Control as a Rationale for Restoration: The Example of Tallgrass Prairie
Ecology and Society, 2003 The potential weed control benefits of ecological restoration are rarely cited and largely unstudied. Nevertheless, the nature of many restoration target communities, i.e., diverse, late-successional communities, suggests that restoration may control ...
