Questions for Invasion/Succession paper discussion QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Lupines QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. myrica faya Vitousek et al. (1987) Biological invasion by Myrica faya alters ecosystem development in Hawaii. Science 238: 802-805 Maron and Connors (1996) A native nitrogen-fixing shrub facilitates weed invasion. Oecologia 105:302-312 What are the three conditions necessary for Myrica to alter forest ecosystems? What are the potential sources of nitrogen in a primary successional habitat? What impact would you predict from this study that Myrica would have on Metrosideros? What causes lupine populations to fluctuate strongly in cover. How did Maron and Connors examine how lupine mortality affects soil fertility and plant growth? What effect does lupine have on the species richness and biomass of communities? What might be the long-term consequences of Myrica invasion and lupine invasion on succesional seres and in disturbed grasslands?
