Reproductive allocation of Carex flava reacts differently to competition and resources in a designed plant mixture of five species

Abstract: In natural plant communities, reproductive allocation can be affected by complex interactions among abiotic resources, species competition and plant size. This topic was addressed using a variety of designed mixed stands of five species (Carex elata, Carex flava, Lycopus europaeus, Lysimachia vulgaris and Mentha aquatica) under four abiotic conditions to investigate how competition and abiotic resources influence the reproductive allocation of one of the five species, C. flava. The plant mixtures varied system… Show more

“…In spite of the often shared biogeographic and evolutionary histories of native insect-pollinated plants and their pollinators, pollinator interactions are more often opportunistic than oligolectic in nature and pollinator infidelity is common (Kearns et al 1998). Even where exotic and native species do not share pollinators, exotic species may indirectly impact native plant pollination by reducing native species densities and thus floral density (through direct competition) (Karron et al 1995;Kirchner et al 2005;SteffanDewenter et al 2001) or by driving a reduction in flowering effort per individual (driving a reallocation of resources away from flower production, Suter 2009;Wang et al 2014). The mechanisms and impacts of pollinator-mediated interactions between native and exotic species are clearly variable, and the introduction of an exotic species into a native plant community can produce contrasting effects on different native species (Waters et al 2014).…”
