Do water and host size interactively affect the impact of a native hemiparasite on a major invasive legume?
R. M. Cirocco, E. Facelli, J. M. Facelli
This study investigates how host size and water availability interact to affect the impact of a native hemiparasite on an invasive legume, finding that parasitism reduces host biomass and nutrient levels more severely under well-watered conditions and on smaller hosts.
