Abstract
Evaluates the competitive effect and response of Achillea millefolium grown with 22 prairie species under different soil fertilities. Competitive effect ability was associated with size-related traits under high nutrient conditions and root-related traits under low nutrient conditions. Competitive response ability was not associated with plant traits.Suggested Citation
