Abstract:
Project strives to reduce the cover of non-native yellow bush lupine in the area adjacent to the parking lot at Mad River Beach, a well as increase the diversity and cover of native species at the project site, and direct the trajectory of the the site to a native dune ecosystem in function and structure.
Problem Statement:
The prevalence of the invasive non-native Lupinus arboreus leads to the loss of native dune vegetation species. L. arboreus furthers the loss of native dune species by altering the ecosystem and facilitating invasion by other non-native species.
