While Honeysuckle has already been shown to have detrimental effects on local species, such as in Miller and Gorchov\u2019s study (2004), this on-going research* seeks to look at what impact honeysuckle has on the emergence and blooming of spring flowers. To do this, three sites in Miami University’s Western Woods were set up, each site having an area with heavy honeysuckle coverage, and one without any Honeysuckle. Sampling plots were then set up in each area, wildflowers within each plot being marked and recorded when they first flower. Invasive species, those being species that spread and thrive when outside of their native habitat, are a big issue in wildlife areas today. Amur honeysuckle, the focus of this research, is a particular problem in the Eastern United States. In ecology, flowering timings are crucial to the survival of a species, as changes to it can cause the period of flowering to be disconnected from the period that local pollinators are active, leading to decreased reproductivity and an overall decline or even extinction of the species. Compared to most native plants, Honeysuckle will leaf out sooner and keep leaves longer into the year, decreasing sunlight that reaches native wildflowers, shrubs, and tree saplings. *UR 2023 Forum C18 Effects of Invasive Amur Honeysuckle on Spring Wildflowers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
