Abstract
Ranunculus repens L. (creeping buttercup) is a common weed in the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec, as well as British Columbia. A review of the literature on the biology of the species is presented. Ranunculus repens can develop large spreading clones as it produces ramets on stolons, and readily regenerates from root fragments. It is therefore particularly resistant to cultivation as a weed control strategy. It is, in addition, partially, or fully resistant to many herbicides, and its seeds show dormancy and sustained viability in the seed bank. Several investigations have been carried out on the population dynamics of this species, and its responses to light and nutrient treatments have been described.Key words: Weed biology, Ranunculus repens, creeping buttercup
