艺术吉尔曼的植物学家和环境顾问,对一切事物感兴趣的植物。他的作者是“佛蒙特州的新植物”(纽约植物园发表的),把所有发生在佛蒙特州2200 +植物物种。
约1/3的佛蒙特州非本地植物。问题的范围从熟悉的草,野花,和杂草,而绝大多数成功的“生物入侵”。There are many aspects of "invasive" species that are intriguing; due to glacial scouring, Vermont has a relatively poor flora in comparison with non-glaciated areas of similar latitudes in Asia--surely we must have many unfilled habitat niches. Are invasives merely filling those niches, or do they have some special attributes that allow them to compete to the detriment of native species? Recorded Jan 5, 2022.
