Showing results for "The Science of Weed" in Nature & Ecology

Lives of Weeds explores the tangled history of weeds and their relationship to humans. Through eight interwoven stories, John Cardina offers a fresh perspective on how these tenacious plants came about, why they are both inevitable and essential, and how their ecological success is ensured by determined efforts to eradicate them. Linking botany, history, ecology, and evolutionary biology to the social dimensions of humanity's ancient struggle with feral flora, Cardina shows how weeds have shaped - and are shaped by - the way we live in the natural world.

In the weeds explores how culture shapes our relationship to the natural world through interviews with a wide range of guests, from scientists to artists to cultural critics and theologians.

Working In The Weeds is a podcast by the University of Florida/IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. This podcast will connect scientists with stakeholders, clarify issues surrounding invasive plants, and highlight the research being conducted at the Center.
