We are evaluating the biological and ecological traits of the invasive grass Bromus tectorum in NW Patagonia so as to predict its capacity to expand its range under current environmental conditions. In particular, we are studying the effects of routes as the starting point of the invasion and the effects of new interactions in the invaded range (facilitation, granivory) which may limit or promote invasion.
