It is being displaced by the exotic perennial para grass ( Urochloa mutica). This study reports on a ﬁeld experiment, where wild rice seed was sown into 1 m2 quadrats of established para grass. Para grass cover was manipulated above the wild rice seed bed, including clipping and herbicide application. The behaviour of wild rice seed under para grass cover in this study was then compared to its behaviour under wild rice cover in a previous study.  \nOryza meridionalis plants did not establish under para grass treatments, including herbicide treatments that successfully killed para grass. Retrieval of buried bags of wild rice seeds revealed that germination was suppressed. Although 40% of seeds remained viable in the soil for more than 2.5 years, suppressed germination prevented establishment of O. meridionalis","cbCaihbqOHKHMBgR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihbqOHKHMBgR","pdf",82923,"English","# Summary\n# Keywords\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the study address on Australian monsoonal floodplains?\",\"answer\":\"The study addresses how the introduced perennial para grass displaces the native annual wild rice that underpins key floodplain food webs.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the field experiment designed to test wild rice under para grass?\",\"answer\":\"Wild rice seeds were sown into 1 m² quadrats of established para grass, and para-grass cover above the seed bed was manipulated through clipping and herbicide application.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did Oryza meridionalis fail to establish under para grass treatments?\",\"answer\":\"Seed retrieval showed germination was suppressed under para-grass cover, so even when para grass was killed, dormancy-breaking or germination cues were not provided.\"}]","Suppression of germination and establishment of native annual rice by introduced para grass on an Australian monsoonal ﬂoodplain | PDF",18]
