The invasive species Tamarix first attracted the public eye in the 1990's when it was suspected of contributing to widespread drought and wildfires in the Western United States. Once purported to consume as much water as entire cities, very few plant species have received as much scientific, public, and political discussion and debate as Tamarix. Written by 44 of the field's most prominent scholars and scientists, this volume compiles 25 essays on this fascinating species--its biology, ecology, politics, management, and the ethical issues involved with designating a particular species as "good" or "bad". The book analyzes the controversy surrounding the Tamarisk's role in our ecosystems and what should be done about it.

"Invasive nonnative plants threaten native species with habitat loss, displacement, and severe population declines, thus seriously reducing biodiversity. Invasive Plants of California's Wildlands is a tremendous source for land managers and others who are interested in protecting the rich natural heritage of California and surrounding states."--John C. Sawhill, President and CEO, The Nature Conservancy

The invasion by non-native saltcedar (Tamarix L. spp.) has caused enormous damage on native plant and animal communities, especially in riparian ecosystems in areas of the western United States. The main methods of control currently used, mechanical, chemical and manual, have proven to be enormously expensive. In the last few years, biological control using an introduced leaf-eating beetle, Diorhabda elongata, has shown a very high potential for success. Success stories of biological control include saltcedar stands along the Humboldt River in Lovelock, Nevada where this beetle defoliated about 5,000 acres of saltcedar. The Colorado Noxious Weed Act of 1996, the State Weed Law and two bills passed by the 108th Congress have enabled county, city and state governments to utilize and implement management programs to target saltcedar. The intent of this research was to monitor and examine the effects of the chemical and mechanical treatments of saltcedar in Fremont County, Colorado. The results of this research indicate that chemical control has had a significant impact on killing saltcedar from pre-treatment status to post-one-year and post-two-year status. It was found that the Hydroaxe control method cleared areas of stands of saltcedar but new growth appeared form below the cut stump of the plant. Protocol for herbicide control, according to the manufacturer's label, recommends that treated areas should be left undisturbed for approximately three years after application.

Invasions of non-native plants into forests of the Southern United States continue to go unchecked and only partially un-monitored. These infestations increasingly erode forest productivity, hindering forest use and management activities, and degrading diversity and wildlife habitat. Often called non-native, exotic, non-indigenous, alien, or noxious weeds, they occur as trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, and forbs. This guide provides information on accurate identification of the 56 non-native plants and groups that are currently invading the forests of the 13 Southern States. In additin, it lists other non-native plants of growing concern. Illustrations. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

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.
