Seed survival of Australian Acacia in the Western Cape of South Africa in the presence of biological control agents and given environmental variation
Studies of invasive Australian Acacia have shown that many seeds are still produced and accumulate in soil stored seed banks regardless of the presence of seed-targeting biological control agents. This is despite claims of biological control success, although there is generally a lack of data on the...
