Floodplain ecosystem response to the removal of Euonymus alatus (winged burning bush) in Western Massachusetts, USA

This research project explores the way an invasive plant species interacts with and affects a floodplain ecosystem. Winged burning bush is an invasive plant from East Asia that can overtake the understory of a forest, but little is known about its effects on the forest, so we set out to find out more about it.
