The Light and Water Stress Tolerance of Two Invasive Legumes: <I>Cytisus scoparius</I> (Scotch broom) and <I>Spartium junceum</I> (Spanish broom)
The ability of Cytisus scoparius L. and Spartium junceum L. to acclimate to different levels of light and water stress was studied to understand ecological constraints on distributions of these plants. A reaction norm experimental design was used to determine growth and physiological responses of …

Identifying physiological and growth-allocation strategies among varying resource availabilities enabling Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link) dominance in recently clearcut Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) forests of the western Pacific Northwest
Scotch broom is an aggressive, N-fixing invader of recently harvested Douglas-fir forests in the western Pacific Northwest. We expected Scotch broom’s ability to dominate a site and displace planted Douglas-fir to be mediated by available resources and the susceptibility of a recently harvested …

Estimating site susceptibility to Scotch broom dominance in young Douglas-fir plantations for control prioritization in western Washington, USA
… this region from the invasive species Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link), whose invasions on recently established stands can lead to mortality of Douglas-fir through overtopping. The susceptibility of sites to Scotch broom achieving dominance over Douglas-fir has been demonstrated as …

From forest to pasture without weeds: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
… Height, extension rate and phyllochron of broom and gorse seedlings grown in five rates of lime (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 T/ha) were measured in a pot experiment at the Lincoln University glasshouse. Average height, extension rate and phyllochron of both species were unaffected by lime rate. The …

Social Investigation of Management Approaches to Effectively Control Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) Invasion in the Sooke Region of Vancouver Island, BC
Invasive plant species, particularly Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius), pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services on Vancouver Island by obstructing native plant restoration and elevating wildfire risks. This study investigates social perspectives on management strategies for …
