- Abstract:
- Although the general pattern of expanding populations of sorrel and ragweed has long been recognized as a consequence of European farming, the patterns and spatial variation of the two species across a region have not been described previously. The aim of the present article is to identify patterns of this early weed infestation, its expansion and geographical distribution across New England.
