Abstract
This study looks to determine the affects of the non-native ice plant on the native Coreopsis gigantea located at Point Dume in Malibu, California. After examining the size of the Coreopsis we were able to identify that they were smaller in height when growing next to the ice plant and greater height when farther away. We concluded that the Coreopsis does survive next to the ice plant, however its growth is restricted. Through our research we discovered many factors that could attribute to the growth difference, yet further research is necessary to decipher the main one.
