Plant invasions & the future of Northwest prairie-oak ecosystems – This week’s CoEnv published research

Each week we share the latest publications coming from the College of the Environment. This week, eight new articles co-authored by members of the College of the Environment were added to the Web of Science or published online, including seven open-access articles that relate to the ecology and management of the Northwest’s prairie-oak ecosystems.
