Bud Bank Density of Warm-Season Grasses as Regulators of Grassland Invasibility
Publication Year

Body
Fluctuations in resource availability has been suggested as one of the key attributes controlling grassland community invasibility, with successful invasions occurring only intermittently, when resource enrichment or release coincide with the availability of propagules of the exotic species. In perennial grasslands, the belowground bud bank (BGBB) plays a fundamental role in local plant population persistence, structure and dynamics; all important factors determining invasibility. We suggest that, even during episodes of new resources and adequate exotic propagule supply (
