Bob and friends,
Interesting, but I can't afford to pay download fees for every article that might be useful, especially in excess of fifty bucks a clip. Nor can I afford "membership" fees for all the sites that, while perhaps delightful individually, taken collectively, add up to that "Giant Sucking Sound."
However, I do agree with your point "the futility of simply trying to eradicate certain invasive plants without understanding the underlying factors contributing to the invasion." When I have tried to raise this issue at other invasive-species sites, as well as their meetings and seminars, it was as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. It would be interesting to know how the majority and the leadership of APWG sees this issue . . .

Hi All
Please check out the following link.

I am pleased to see this type of research. It points out the futility of simply trying to eradicate certain invasive plants without understanding the underlying factors contributing to the invasion. I strongly suspect that what is true for these 3 species has similar parallels for many others. We need to step back and think before we whip out the herbicide sprayers. It makes me wonder how much more taxpayer money will be wasted in these attempts.

Hi,
If you do a lot of public education on invasive plants, these models may be
helpful especially when live material is not.
Thanks,
Jil
