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 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive exotic species fragment native ecosys-tems, displace native plants and animals, and alter ecosystem function. Invasive species are second only to habitat loss as threats to global biodiver-sity (Scott and Wilcove 1998) and represent one of the most serious threats to natural ecosys-tem integrity (National Research Council 2002).

This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of NPS species, the national database registering plant occurrence in parks, indicated that 465 plant species occurred in Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. Of these, 148 (32%) are non-native, meaning that these plants were recently introduced through human agency. The authors detail the status of invasive plants and the resource management issue(s) for the park.

This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's note. 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 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.

Download or read book Invasive Exotic Plant Monitoring at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site written by National Park Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During surveys in 2006, we documented 25 invasive exotic plant taxa in the restored prairie at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. Sweetclover and reed canarygrass were widespread and abundant at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. Sweetclover was very prevalent in the western half of the prairie, is established on at least 44 acres, and was found in 84% of search units. Reed canarygrass covered at least 4 acres and occupied 50% of the search units. Out of the 25 invasive exotic plants, 20 plants each occurred on less than one acre. In general, several invasive exotic plants are a major problem at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, but successful control is possible for a large group of species. We suggest the development of a plan to manage sweetclover in order to maintain the composition of a relatively diverse prairie. The acreage estimates presented in the report may also 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 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).
