This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 363: Control of Invasive Species explores the extent to which state departments of transportation are identifying actions that affect the spread of invasive species, preventing introduction, tracking status and locations of "invasives" in a timely and ongoing manner, controlling found populations, restoring invaded habitats, conducting research, and sharing lessons learned. The report documents successful practices and lessons learned. It also synthesizes the state of the practice in developing Integrated (Roadside) Vegetation Management, along with physical, chemical, biological, and cultural control mechanisms.

This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-native, invasive species are a paramount concern in virtually all natural areas and, not surprisingly, ranked as the top vital sign for monitoring within the Klamath Network. Impacts of invasives threaten the core goals of the National Park Service. Invasive species are second only to habitat loss as a threat to native biodiversity (Wilcove et al. 1998). Impacts from invasives that can severely degrade native ecosystems include the replacement of native vegetation (Tilman 1999), the loss of rare species (King 1985), changes in ecosystem structure (Mack and D'Antonio 1998), alteration of nutrient cycles and soil chemistry (Ehrenfeld 2003), shifts in community productivity (Vitousek 1990), changes in water availability (D'Antonio and Mahall 1991), and alteration of disturbance regimes (Mack and D'Antonio 1998). Invasive species having these effects are ecosystem transformers. Invasive species capable of transforming ecosystems are the focus of this protocol.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological invasion of native plant communities is a high-priority problem in the field of environmental management. Resource managers, biologists, and all those involved in plant communities must consider ecological interactions when assessing both the effects of plant invasion and the long-term effects of management. Sections of the book cover human perceptions of invading plants, assessment of ecological interactions, direct management, and regulation and advocacy. It also includes an appendix with descriptive data for many of the worst weeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological invasions are one of the major threats to our native biodiversity. The magnitude of biodiversity losses, land degradation and productivity losses of managed and natural ecosystems due to invasive species is enormous. The ecological and environmental aspects of non-native invasive plants are of great importance to (i) understand ecological principles involved in the management of invasives, (ii) design management strategies, (iii) find effective management solutions for some of the worst invaders, and (iv) frame policies and regulations. The objectives of this book are to discuss (i) ecological approaches needed to design effective management strategies, (ii) recent progress in management methods and tools, (iii) success and failure of management efforts for some of the worst invaders, and (iv) restoration and conservation of invaded land. In an effort to achieve these objectives, contributing authors have strived to provide up-to-date information on the management of non-native invasives. Chapters included in the book are peer-reviewed by international experts working in the area. Readers will get a unique perspective on ecological aspects of the management of invasives. The book will be useful to graduate students, researchers, managers and policy makers involved in the management of exotic invasives.

This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN) is one of eight networks in the Pacific West Region of the NPS. SFAN is composed of eight park units and includes Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE), Pinnacles National Monument (PINN), John Muir National Historic Site (JOMU), Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site (EUON), and Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GOGA) including Muir Woods National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site. The network fosters collaboration and creates efficiencies of scale in designing and implementing a natural resource focused Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program. The network has identified vital signs, indicators of ecosystem health, which represent a broad suite of ecological phenomena operating across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Our intent has been to monitor a balanced and integrated “package” of vital signs that meets the needs of current park management, but will also be able to accommodate unanticipated environmental conditions in the future. Invasive plants represent a particularly high priority vital sign for SFAN because of the negative effects they have on the park resources, including altering landscapes and fire regimes, reducing native plant and animal habitat, and blocking views and increasing trail maintenance needs. Parks need to know where incipient populations of highly invasive plants are becoming established, and protect the most critical areas from invasion. This year was the second full field season of testing the early detection protocol. The methods detailed in this report focus on surveying road- and trail-side in priority areas using volunteers, and is based on the SFAN I&M Network's Early Detection Monitoring of Invasive Plant Species in the San Francisco Bay Area Network: A Volunteer-Based Approach.

Book excerpt: Bringing together ecology and management of invasive plants within natural and agricultural ecosystems, this book bridges the knowledge gap between the processes operating within ecosystems and the practices used to prevent, contain, control and eradicate invasive plant species. The book targets key processes that can be managed, the impact of invasive plants on these ecosystem processes and illustrates how adopting ecologically based principles can influence the ecosystem and lead to effective land management.

This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2008, the Invasive Species Early Detection (ISED) Program of the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network (ERMN) has surveyed for and detected incipient populations of invasive plants, animals, and diseases in ERMN parks. Early detection of invasive species followed by rapid response can detect and eradicate incipient populations before they have a chance to become widely established; thus eliminating the need for costly and resource-intensive control programs. While long-term changes associated with established invasive species are being monitored through other protocols, the ISED program focuses on new populations of invasive species early in their invasion. Only when invasions are caught early will the chance of eradication remain high. Known ecological impacts of invasive species include loss of threatened and endangered species, altered structure and composition of terrestrial and aquatic communities, and reduction in overall species diversity.
