Body
Effects of a single underwater surface clipping on established mature purple loosestrife plants were examined over one growing season at Green Gables Marsh near Kingston, Ontario (44° 46’ N, 76° 01’ W). One hundred 3 x 3 m plots were identified and assigned to four treatments: uncut, or clipped 10 cm below water surface in June 16 (early summer), July 15 (mid-summer), or August 18 (late summer). Number of plants per plot was counted each month after treatments from June 16 and continued through October 15.
