"Effects of method of English ivy removal and seed addition on regeneration of vegetation in a southeastern piedmont forest"

This article, from the Web of Science database, features both topics of English ivy (Hedera helix) and invasive species. It was featured in the The American Midland Naturalist Vol. 158, No. 1 (Jul., 2007), pp. 206-220, written by Matthew S. Biggerstaff and Christopher W. Beck.

They discussed the effects of invasive plants on native flora and fauna. They studied the effects of invasive English ivy on the natural plants of Piedmont, Georgia. They removed ivy in plots and counted the native seedling density and diversity. They found that the plots that retained ivy had no new germination of the native plants of Georgia. Because they found that plant removal of an invasive species was so effective in increasing the growth of native plants, this should be considered in exotic plant removal projects and the effective methods in doing so.
