WOOD PRODUCTS VALUE : 
NO-ENTRY


IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : 
While common woodsorrel has not been investigated, other members of the
woodsorrel family (Oxalis pes-capre and O. corniculata) form
concentrations of soluble oxalates lethal to livestock under specific
grazing conditions [18].

VALUE FOR REHABILITATION OF DISTURBED SITES : 
Common woodsorrel is a soil stabilizer; it has extensive clonal growth
and the ability to grow on steep ground, poor soil, and in deep shade
[5,27,38,39].

In a Canadian northern hardwood-boreal transition forest, disturbed
ground was mulched to suppress red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) growth [16].
Common woodsorrel appeared during the second growing season, despite the
oat (Avena sativa) mulch.  Because only plants with 10 percent or
greater cover were recorded, it is likely that common woodsorrel was
present the first year in low amounts [16].
