Phenotypic Plasticity Drives the Successful Expansion of the Invasive Plant <i>Pedicularis kansuensis</i> in Bayanbulak, China

Phenotypic Plasticity Drives the Successful Expansion of the Invasive Plant <i>Pedicularis kansuensis</i> in Bayanbulak, China

To better understand the phenotypic plasticity of the highly invasive native weed, <i>Pedicularis kansuensis</i>, we investigated and compared phenotypes (morphology, biomass, and nutrient composition) at different levels of invasion (low: 0 < cover ≤ 30%; medium: 30% < cover ≤ 70%...
