Download or read book Invasive Exotic Plant Monitoring at Homestead National Monument of America written by National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During surveys in 2006, we documented 11 invasive exotic plant taxa at Homestead National Monument of America. Invasive exotic plants occurred in the restored prairies and the forest at the monument. Smooth brome, Osage orange, reed canarygrass, and white mulberry were widespread and abundant. We estimated that each of these plant species covered at least three acres on the monument. Five species occupied less than 0.1 acre. In general, several invasive exotic plants that are difficult to manage are a moderate problem at Homestead National Monument of America, but successful control is possible for a large group of species. The acreage estimates presented in the report may be used to plan management activities leading to control of exotic plants and the accomplishment of GPRA goal IA1b.

This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, we use the term invasive exotic plant to refer to plants that are not native to the park and that are presumed to pose environmental harm to native plant populations and/or communities based on a review of numerous state and regional invasive exotic plant lists. The great majority of the introductory text was taken from Welch and Geissler (2007) with slight modification.

This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous studies have shown that invasive non-native plants are the biggest threat to biological diversity, are a threat to habitat de-struction, and aff ect the value of many pub-lic and privately owned lands (D'Antonio et al. 2004; Vanderhoof et al. 2009). National parks, established in part to preserve native plants and animals, are seeing native plant presence decrease as the number of inva-sive species increases at the rate of nearly two hectares per day (Crimmins et al. 2008).

Book excerpt: During surveys in 2009, we documented 23 invasive exotic plant taxa in the restored prairie at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. The most widespread and abundant of the exotic plant species observed included sweetclover, reed canarygrass, and smooth brome. Prevalent mainly in the western half of the prairie, sweetclover was established on at least 0.8 acres. Reed canarygrass and smooth brome each covered a minimum of 1 acre.

Short and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During surveys in 2009, we documented seven invasive exotic plant taxa in the Big Spring Pines Natural Area, Chubb Hollow, Long Bay Field and Long Bay at Ozark National Scenic Riverways. All species were known to occur on the park. The most widespread and abundant of the exotic plant species observed included Johnsongrass, ground ivy and Nepalase browntop. Each of these species covered seven or more acres in the park. In general, several invasive exotic plants are a major problem in the study area at Ozark National Scenic Riverways, but successful control is possible for a large group of species. The acreage estimates presented in the report may be used to plan management activities leading to control of exotic plants and the accomplishment of GPRA goal IA1b.
