Most of the woody
invasive plants in the United States were introduced for
horticultural purposes (Reichard and White 2001). Our lab
uses ecophysiological principles and methods to determine what
makes some introduced woody species invasive. Combinations of
greenhouse and field studies are used to assess invasiveness.
