Body
The top 2 cm of soil from a flooded wetland near Smith Falls, Ontario with an established purple loosestrife population was collected and transported back to the greenhouse in south-central manitoba. Soil was placed into trays, watered to saturate soil surface and allowed to germinate. Seedlings were clipped at the soil surface 21, 42 or 63 days following germination. The number of seedlings per treatment was counted every week for 10 weeks.
