Competition, Succession, Rangeland Restoration

Abstract

Many early successional plant species have been considered weeds because of their lack of forage value for livestock (Whitson and Burrill, 2009). However, these early successional plant species have the potential to aid rangeland restoration in a variety of ways including:

• Food source for pollinators (Dumroese et al., 2016).

• Soil partitioning for climax communities of native perennials (Tilley et al., 2022).

• Competition against invasive annual species (Leger et al., 2014). To determine which early colonizing (or pioneer) species have the greatest restoration potential, interspecific competitive interactions should be evaluated.
