<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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

<BR>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. <BR>Bob<BR><BR>

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