C70 - Effects of Invasive Honeysuckle on Phenology of Spring Wildflowers
Mentor: Richard Moore, Ph.D.
Lonicera maackii (Amur Honeysuckle) is an invasive shrub in much of the Midwest. It produces leaves much earlier than trees in the canopy, leading to premature shading of plants below. Spring ephemerals flower for only a short period early in the season, usually before the canopy fills out We are interested mainly in Claytonia virginica (Spring Beauty).
We are presenting data from the '23, '24, and '25 seasons.
