Abstract:: Models of weed communities aid in the development of weed management strategies and elucidate the processes and mechanisms that regulate plant populations and communities. A conceptual weed community model was developed to organize key regulatory life-history processes. Specific investigations focused on the processes of plant growth and competition, and relationships...

Abstract:: I investigated the population dynamics of fireweed (Epilobium angustfolium), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) , and woodland groundsel (Senecio sylvaticus) to understand their colonization, persistence, and extirpation in Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir forests. Factors affecting the species' frequency and abundance in forest communities were evaluated. Their population dynamics were modeled and field experiments...
