- Abstract:
- A project designed to test the effects on the forest understory plant community of soil amendments that increased or decreased C:N ratios, at sites invaded by Alliaria petiolata. Alliaria petiolata, garlic mustard, is a biennial herb introduced in the 1800s as a cooking green from it native Europe. It is considered invasive now across much of the eastern and mid-western United States.
