Without reading the article first, I can definitely say YES, and just by observing the adaptations of the Sand Bur. Poison spray 'em, they adapt and grow back. Scalp your lawn, you cause 'em to multiply by fractured root crowns. Just plain ole mowing scatters the seeds and if you think mowing halts seed production, think again. They'll flower and seed below the cutting line until you scalp 'em then make different crowns for them to grow back with.
