A two year study was conducted in Newfoundland on the Gros Morne National Park, a boreal ecosystem, to determine the level of susceptibility to invasion and if any kind of disturbance would cause weed invasion within this large protected area. Plots were located throughout the park with vegetation measurements (% cover by species, bare ground, light availability, and litter cover) and classification of disturbance (human and animal) as high, medium, low or undisturbed taken at each site. Soil characteristics such as pH, and soil substrate were also taken.
