Hybridization of Non-Native Dune-Building Beachgrasses on the U.S. Pacific Northwest Coast: Characterization of Functional Morphology, Hybrid Swarm Composition, and Ecological Consequences of Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata

Creator:

Mostow, Rebecca S.

Abstract:

The rates of biological introductions and invasions are increasing, driving up the associated harms to ecosystems and economies. The spread and effects of invasive organisms depend on the specifics of the introduction, the character of the invaded ecosystem, and multiple traits of the invasive organism itself. One mechanism by which...

. Pacific Northwest Coast: Characterization of Functional Morphology, Hybrid Swarm Composition, and
The Range, Abundance, Spread, and Biophysical Effects of a Novel, Invasive Beachgrass Hybrid, Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata, on U.S. Pacific Northwest Coastal Dunes

Creator:

Askerooth, Risa

Abstract:

Non-native ecosystem engineers, which modify the structure and function of their ecosystems, are often a particularly concerning and costly group of invasive species. Such organisms may have substantial impacts on ecosystem services, or the benefits that humans derive from their ecosystems. Many factors play a role in the invasion success...
