Seed biomass production and germination rates of Cyperus entrerianus1

摘要: Abstract Cyperus entrerianus (Boeckler) (deeprooted sedge, deeproot woodrush flatsedge) has become naturalized throughout the Texas coastal prairie ecoregion and is now found much of southeastern United States. Originally from Argentina, its successful naturalization linked to rapid growth, morphological plasticity, generalized habitat requirements, but little work focused upon seed biology or ecology. Research was conducted quantify phytomorphological variability, develop yield prediction models, germination requirements for C. aid in future control management efforts this exotic invasive particularly those seedbanks. phytomorphology, production, were extremely variable among study areas, provide evidence naturalization. Although plants varied morphologically, spike cluster area inflorescence diameter explained variati...
