September 2008 | Publisher: Other Federal Agency (United States Forest Service (USFS)) | Format: .PDF
www.fs.fed.us — This review of information on relationships between wildland fire and nonnative invasive plants can assist fire managers and other land managers concerned with prevention, detection, and eradication or control of nonnative invasive plants. The 16 chapters in this volume synthesize ecological and botanical principles regarding relationships between More...

ccma.nos.noaa.gov — This website is the entry point to data for the Mussel Watch, Bioeffects, and Benthic Surveillance programs. This resource links to the National Status & Trends Program fact sheet (pdf), and several projects including Mussel Watch, Benthic Surveillance, and Bioeffects Assessment. Users can also get general information about the Center for More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Eurasian Ruffe pose a threat to native fish because they(1) mature quickly, (2) have a high reproductive capacity, and (3) easily adapt to new environments. Ruffe were first detected in western Lake Superior in 1986. UMESC scientists are conducting research on various types of piscicides (chemicals that kill fish). They are attempting to develop More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — Ballast water discharges are the most significant cause of aquatic biological invasions in coastal waters, including the Great Lakes. Currently, treatment of ballast water prior to discharge at the receiving port offers significant promise to help control this problem. However, development of treatment technologies is limited by lack of objective More...

wfrc.usgs.gov — The objective of this research is to determine if symbiotic fungi are responsible for the invasiveness of plants in non-native habitats. One of the least studied but critical aspects of plant community structure and dynamics involves symbiotic interactions with endophytic and mycorrhizal fungi. In the last several decades it has become apparent More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Zebra mussels have caused drastic declines in native clam and mussel populations in some locations. Zebra mussels compete with other invertebrates and young fish for plankton, the primary food source for these groups. UMESC scientists are investigating the effects zebra mussels are having on the riverine ecosystem. This study examines the effects More...

fresc.usgs.gov — Periodic fire is a natural part of sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin. However, a suite of human-caused factors has dramatically changed fire regimes in many of these systems. Decades of fire suppression and livestock grazing have produced dense, single-aged sagebrush stands and invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) has increased More...

invasivespecies.nbii.gov — This research project addresses a global invasive species problem and its significant impacts on natural resources, economy, and health of the United States. These impacts threaten the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System and decreases the ability of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to meet its goals and objectives for fish and More...

invasivespecies.nbii.gov — Hundreds of new species from other countries are introduced intentionally or accidentally into the U.S. each year. The Invasive Species Information Node (ISIN) creates a central repository for information pertaining to the identification, description, management, and control of invasive species. This resource provides links to avian influenza More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Fort Collins Science Center (FORT, Ft. Collins) | Format: URL
www.fort.usgs.gov — The FORT research team will develop maps of invasive species at local, regional, and national scales and identify priority invasive species, vulnerable habitats, and pathways of invasion. County-level and point data on occurrence will be linked to plot-level and site-level information on species abundance and spread. Together, USGS, NASA, and CSU More...

bp.gsfc.nasa.gov — The Invasive Species Forecasting System (ISFS) is a Web-based information management and modeling environment tailored to the needs of the invasive species community. When fully implemented, it will provide a way of managing the data and modeling activities that underpin invasive species research, management, and policy decision-making. The More...
