Mechanisms driving woody encroachment in the tallgrass prairie: an analysis of fire behavior and physiological integration
Master of Science === Department of Biology === John M. Briggs === Woody encroachment has altered the vegetative structure of grasslands worldwide and represents a potentially irreversible shift in grassland dynamics and biodiversity. Clonal woody species appear to be one of the greatest contributor...
