Critical and Disturbed AreasUpdated 12/10/2008 Highly disturbed areas, such as those associated with minelands, saline sites, roadsides and highly acidic sites, are very susceptible to invasion by noxious weeds. Several PMCs are evaluating native plants which are especially adapted to these difficult sites to help prevent infestation by noxious weeds such as knapweed species, Canada thistle and cogongrass. Difficult environmental conditions, eroding streambanks, land impacted by wildfires, mineland reclamation sites, arid rangelands, require finding the right plants for the job. The Plant Materials Program is a nationwide network of 27 Plant Materials Centers and 17 Plant Materials Specialists, based in ecologically distinct service areas. Together, these centers and specialists seek out plants and state-of-the-art technology to restore critical habitats, mitigate environmental concerns, and sustain healthy natural resources.Related Publications
