Abstract
Evaluates the interaction between disturbance and nutrients on the growth of Tridens flavus in an old field community in Illinois. Experimental treatments included combinations of fertilizer and mowing treatments over 8 years. Disturbances such as mowing and fertilization may be important in maintaining Tridens flavus in old fields.Suggested Citation
