Delena Norris-Tull: Management of Invasive Plants in the Western USA - Why should we be concerned?

In 2020 Dr. Delena Norris-Tull launched a website, Management of Invasive Plants in the Western USA, https://www.invasiveplantswesternusa.... The purpose of the website is to provide an extensive evaluation of the effectiveness of methods used to manage invasive plants. Why should we be concerned with the damage caused by invasive plant species? Displacement of native plant species in the natural landscape Habitat degradation is closely linked to the introduction of alien species. Some species are already facilitating an increase in Western wildfires. Invasive species significantly impact U.S. ecosystems and are one of the greatest threats to forest, rangeland, and urban forest health. Some invasive plant species have impacted wildlife and livestock, either directly, such as by poisoning, or indirectly, by altering habitats. Farmers that promote the growth of natural ecosystems near their agricultural lands increase the numbers of both introduced honey bees and native bees available to pollinate their crops.
