Invasive Species 101
What are invasive species?
How do they get into new environments?
Why care?
Management & your role in it.
Invasive species means an alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
“Invasive”
Definitions: Invasive Plants
Exotics(non-native)Lots of beneficial species: Crops, pasture, forestry & ornamentals.
“Noxious”A regulatory designation.
“Weed”A plant growing where you do not want it.
Spreads outside of cultivation, and causes environmental& economic harm.
Natives
Co-evolution with other species, our natural heritage
Biological invaders destroy habitats or out-compete native plants and
animals.
At least 30 new potential biological invaders enter the US every day…
Invasive species costs Americans about $143 billion/year!
Why should we care?
What makes a plant invasive?
Lack normal environmental constraints
Fast growth and reproduction
Highly adaptable a wide range of conditions
Often can transform their environment
Often encouraged by disturbance
Dominance = less biodiversity
How do we manage invasive plants?
Prevention
Quarantine before introduction
Monitoring & mapping
Chemical treatment (herbicides)
Biological controls (biocontrol)
Cultural treatment (hand pulling, cutting, etc.)
