Impacts and control of Himalayan blackberry
Impacts and control of Himalayan blackberry
Chesbrough et al 2017: We surveyed the abundance of Himalayan blackberry at the Fairfield Osborn Preserve.
Dantoc et al 2017: We assessed the nitrogen content in soils at the Fairfield Osborn Preserve to investigate its effect on Himalayan blackberry growth.
Reckers et al 2019: To understand how California blackberry performs in the absence of the invasive Himalayan blackberry, we conducted surveys at areas of the Preserve where Himalayan blackberry removal had been performed, and where no removal had taken place.
