Beskrivning

In their rapid colonization of soil exposed by fires, floods, and grazing animals, weeds resemble the human specialists we label Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). The narrative uses a representative set of weed species from a desert location to illustrate the full range of weed characteristics.
