Influence of Landscape Characteristics on Wind Dispersal Efficiency of <i>Calotropis procera</i>
Rubber bush <i>(Calotropis procera)</i>, a perennial invasive milkweed, infests large swathes of pastoral land in northern Australia and Queensland, diminishing pasture productivity. The seeds of rubber are small with fluffy pappi that confer buoyancy during wind dispersal. Long-distance...
