solstitialis)</span></i> is one of the most serious rangeland, grassland, and
wildland weeds in the northwestern United States, impacting native plant
diversity, altering water cycles, and poisoning livestock. Yellow starthistle
invades 12 million acres in California alone. This guide begins with a
description of the biology and ecology of yellow starthistle and its history in
California. It then provides a comprehensive overview of treatment methods for
yellow starthistle, including each method's advantages and disadvantages,
timing, and best fit in a strategic management plan. Published by
