The theoretical basis for my research project on the effects of Canada Thistle on native species and local ecosystems can draw upon ecological and invasion biology theories.
The three keywords that describe my research project are as follows:
- Invasive species impact: this emphasizes the core theme of my research which is how the presence of Canada Thistle affects the surrounding native species ecosystem.
- Biotic interactions: this refers to relationships and interactions among living organisms. In this research project, biotic interactions reflect the examination of how Canada Thistle interacts with the local flora and fauna.
- Ecosystem dynamics: this highlights the broader ecological perspective of my research. The keyword suggests that this research aims to investigate the changes and interactions within the local ecosystem caused by the presence of invasive species.
