Introduced Populations of an Invasive Tree Have Higher Soluble Sugars but Lower Starch and Cellulose

Introduced Populations of an Invasive Tree Have Higher Soluble Sugars but Lower Starch and Cellulose

Native and introduced plant populations vary in leaf physiology, biochemistry, and biotic interactions. These aboveground traits may help invasive plants in competition for resources with co-occurring native species. Root physiological traits may affect invasive plant performance because of the role...
