Due to its adverse imp acts on agroeconomy and public health\, understanding ecological cause(s) of A. artemisiifolia establishment along roadside edges will help us to co ntrol this problematic weed and prevent its dispersal into nearby agricult ural and urban areas. Surface soils adjacent to major roads and highways c ommonly contain heavy metals at phytotoxic levels. We hypothesized that du ring early establishment stage higher metal tolerance of A. artemisiifolia than the current cover legume (Trifolium spp.) may cause its successful e stablishment along roadside edges.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the ac complishments of our PhD candidates.
