Invasive Plants
FEIS provides updated scientific and technical information about
interactions between fire and plant species that have been
identified as invasive in at
least some locations. Most of the species in this list are
nonnative
in the United States. These species reviews include as much
information as is available on:
- The role of fire in enabling plant invasions
- Altered fire regimes following plant invasion
- The use of fire to control plant invasions
- Background information on taxonomy, species distribution, basic
biology and ecology, and management
Invasive species summaries:
Because our emphasis is primarily fire, and because FEIS does
not include all invasive species of interest, FEIS users are encouraged
to explore other websites for further details about nonnative invasive species.
Some other sites with information on biology and control of
invasive species:
Center for Invasive Plant Management |
Provides ecologically based management information for western weeds |
Cornell University |
This site provides photographs and
descriptions of biological control agents of pests in North
America. It is also a tutorial on the concept and practice of
biological control and integrated pest management (IPM). |
Extoxnet |
The Extension Toxicology Network provides
a variety of information about pesticides. |
Invaders database |
A database with detailed distribution
information for the northwestern United States, and noxious
weed listings for the US and parts of Canada. |
NAPIS |
The National Agricultural Pest Information
system provides information on biological control and other
aspects of pest management. |
The Nature Conservancy |
TNC's "Global Invasive Species Team"
features species management abstracts, management plans, weed
control methods, photos and more. |
USDA Plants database |
Includes names, identification information,
species abstracts, distributional data, crop information, plant
growth data, and other plant information. |
US EPA |
Provides detailed pesticide product information. |
WeedScience.com |
Information on herbicide-resistant weeds. |
Weeds gone wild: Alien plant invaders of natural areas |
Geographically comprehensive. Suggests
native species as alternatives to invasives. |
