Resource-use efficiency and plant invasion in low-resource systems

Article Abstract:

Resource use efficiency (RUE) in invasive and native species is investigated from three habitats in Hawaii where light, water or nutrient availability is limiting to plant growth. It shows that across multiple growth forms and broad taxonomic diversity invasive species are generally more efficient when RUE measures are integrated over leaf lifespan.
