Book excerpt: Kudzu abounds across the American South. Introduced in the United States in the 1800s as a solution for soil erosion, this invasive vine with Eastern Asian origins came to be known as a pernicious invader capable of smothering everything in its path. To many, the plant’s enduring legacy has been its villainous role as the “vine that ate the South.” But for a select few, it has begun to signify something else entirely. In its roots, a network of people scattered across the country see a chance at redemption—and an opportunity to rewrite a fragment of troubled history. Devoured: The Extraordinary Story of Kudzu, the Vine That Ate the South detangles the complicated story of the South’s fickle relationship with kudzu, chronicling the ways the boundless weed has evolved over centuries, and dissecting what climate change could mean for its future across the United States. From architecture teams experimenting with it as a sustainable building material, to clinical applications treating binge-drinking, to chefs harvesting it as a wild edible, environmental journalist Ayurella Horn-Muller spotlights how kudzu’s notorious reputation in America is gradually being cast aside in favor of its promise. Weaving careful research with personal stories, Horn-Muller investigates how kudzu morphed from a miraculous agricultural solution to the monstrous archetypal foe of the southern landscape. Devoured is a poignant narrative of belonging, racial ambiguity, outsiders and insiders, and the path from universal acceptance to undesirability. It is a deeply reported exploration of the landscapes that host the many species we fight to control. Above all, Devoured is an ode to the earth around us—a quest for meaning in today’s imperiled world.

Book excerpt: Through the use of both pictures and corresponding text THE TROUBLE WITH KUDZU clearly illustrates why kudzu is now a example of a serious environmental hazard. Kudzu, a fast growing vine native to Asia was imported to control erosion and for animal fodder. The vine was first shown at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. Originally planted in southeastern United States on arbors as its large leaves provided shade and protection from the sun making homes cooler in the summer. In 1935 it began being used to stop erosion along southern roads, which it did do. In so doing it created myriad other problems which are expensive to control. This vine grows rapidly, has very large roots, and is quite at home in the southeast. But this vine is spreading both north and west in the US. Controlling the vine is hampered as there are no natural predators and is disease resistant. Kudzu is a stunning example of a good idea creating more problems than it solved.

Book excerpt: In the early 1900's a vine called kudzu was planted along the highways in the Southeastern States of America. The kudzu grew very quickly and spread into the forest. Millions of acres were covered in kudzu vines. From these fields of vines the first kudzu monsters emerged and began to roam the forests. This story is about a young kudzu monster named Kalvin. He lives in the forest of North Georgia with his parents and baby sister, who causes him much trouble. Kalvin faces danger many times, but his greatest challenge comes when wicked men move into the forest. Their illegal activities could harm many innocent people and destroy the kudzu monsters. Alone with his one-year-old sister, Kalvin must save his parents and stop these gangsters before they can carry out their sinister plans.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kudzu is an aggressive, nonnative vine that currently dominates an estimated 810,000 ha of mesic forest communities in the eastern United States. To test an integrated method of weed control, abundances of kudzu and other plant species were compared during 4 yr after six herbicide treatments (clopyralid, triclopyr, metsulfuron, picloram 1 2,4-D, tebuthiuron, and a nonsprayed check), in which loblolly pines were planted at three densities (0, 1, and 4 seedlings m22) to induce competition and potentially delay kudzu recovery. This split-plot design was replicated on each of the four kudzu-dominated sites near Aiken, SC. Relative light intensity (RLI) and soil water content (SWC) were measured periodically to identify mechanisms of interference among plant species. Two years after treatment (1999), crown coverage of kudzu averaged, 2% in herbicide plots compared with 93% in the nonsprayed check, and these differences were maintained through 2001, except in clopyralid plots where kudzu cover increased to 15%. In 2001, pine interference was associated with 33, 56, and 67% reductions in biomass of kudzu, blackberry, and herbaceous vegetation, respectively. RLI in kudzu-dominated plots (4 to 15% of full sun) generally was less than half that of herbicide-treated plots. SWC was greatest in tebuthiuron plots, where total vegetation cover averaged 26% compared with 77 to 111% in other plots. None of the treatments eradicated kudzu, but combinations of herbicides and induced pine competition delayed its recovery.

Book excerpt: Kudzu, a highly destructive plant first imported into the US from Asia, has become known as ?The vine that ate the south?. During the Great Depression, farmers were paid to plant it as it was seen as a good way to combat soil erosion. However, Kudzu can grow over 30cm a day and, as such, today it represents a huge problem for the southern states, even entering the lexicon as a synonym for ?something that comes in and rapidly takes over everything?.0Kudzu eliminates all other vegetation wherever it takes hold, something it does both quickly and easily. It can easily take over entire forests. Overgrown trees begin to look more like mysterious creatures and forests become enchanted-like places. But, with time, the vine kills the trees and damages properties. In the process, it has completely transformed the landscape of the South.0Since 2010 Sabine Bungert and Stefan Dolfen have been working on long term projects together. They are interested in the development of cities and landscapes due to social changes. They are focused on public places, looking for signs of sociocultural aspects of humans, which are expressed in the environment. They both studied photography and editorial design at University Essen (Folkwang), Germany.
