摘要: ABSTRACT Streptanthus bracteatus A. Gray, bracted twistflower (Brassicaceae), is a rare, endemic of the Edwards Plateau ecoregion central Texas. We examined effects light levels on growth S. in field experiment and also combined canopy (+/-) exclosure (+/-, herbivory) 2 × factorial experiment. Plants high had significantly greater compared to plants low treatments. For most variables, were negatively affected by herbivory (likely white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus) presence woodland with significant interactions between (+/exclosure) treatments (+/-). Survival was 100% exclosures 58% when unprotected. protected from open greatest basal diameter, height, aboveground, belowground, total dry mass, while those not much lower responses. Pl...
