Socio‐ecological complexity in managing long‐standing invasive water hyacinth in wetland agriculture and fisheries
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.
besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
I’m excited to share my research article, published in People and Nature!! 🌿We found that water hyacinth reduces crop yields and drives destructive fishing practices—yet after 100+ years, locals see it as “natural.” #InvasionEcology #Wetlands besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We know very little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading
As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:)
