Do water and host size interactively affect the impact of a native hemiparasite on a major invasive legume?

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.

Impact of a native hemiparasitic plant on invasive and native hosts in the field.

This study evaluates the impact of the hemiparasitic plant Cassytha pubescens on invasive and native hosts, finding it reduces key physiological traits in the invasive species but has mild effects on native plants.

Impact of a native hemiparasite and mowing on performance of a major invasive weed, European blackberry

This study shows that a native parasitic plant reduces the performance of invasive European blackberry, with mowing enhancing this effect in some cases.
