“…I nvasive nonnative plants are in the news because of their dramatic effects on our national agriculture, aquaculture, rangelands, water supplies, and other important resources (1,2). Invasive plants also cause the decline of local biodiversity worldwide, with clear effects on native species and ecosystems (3,4). For economic and ecological reasons, these invaders have been a primary focus of conservation and restoration efforts, although control programs seldom have the resources to keep up with the spread of new invaders (5).…”

“…As stated by Pysek (1995), an invasive species is an exotic whose distribution and/or abundance are in an increasing process. According to Parker et al (1999), biological invasions can cause impacts at different levels, including effects on individuals (e.g. mortality rates and growth), genetics (e.g.…”

Invasion impact of Artocarpus heterophyllus LAM. (Moraceae) at the edge of an atlantic forest fragment in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

ABSTRACT:The Atlantic Forest is reduced to less than 20 % of its original area, but it still protects an important biological heritage. Forest fragmentation makes the environment more susceptible to invasive species occupation. Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) was introduced into Brazil in the seventeenth century; and in the second half of the twentieth century, its natural regeneration increased the density of individuals, compromising the recruitment of many native species. This study investigated the impact of A. heterophyllus invasion on the diversity and tree structure component at the edge of an Atlantic Forest fragment, in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Two transect-type plots were set up with 10 m x 100 m (1,000 m 2 ), being divided into 10 subplots of 10 m x 10 m, with a total sampling area of 2,000 m 2 . Trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) equals to or greater than 5 cm were tagged and DBH and total height measured. The following phytosociological parameters were estimated: Frequency (F), Density (D), Dominance (Do), Importance (IV) and Coverage (CV) Values. In total, 191 tree individuals were sampled. Invasive species made up more than 35% of the entire vegetation structure in the studied environment, ending in first place in terms of Importance Value (IV = 35.62%). Low floristic wealth seems to have favored the A. heterophyllus invasion process in the community, showing the need for an effective control of the species for the native genetic heritage protection.

“…Nonnative species have not evolved with our forest ecosystems and may have no biological control agents. Consequently, these species can have adverse effects on the health, structure, and composition of native forest communities (Mack et al 2000, Mooney and Cleland 2001, Parker et al 1999. Michigan has been affected by nonnative insects and diseases such as Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight, butternut canker, gypsy moth, and, more recently, EAB, BBD, hemlock wooly adelgid, and sirex woodwasp.…”

The eighth inventory of Michigan's forests, completed in 2014, describes more than 20.3 million acres of forest land. The data in this report are based on visits to 4,289 forested plots from 2009 to 2014. Timberland accounts for 95 percent of this forest land, and 62 percent is privately owned. The sugar maple/beech/yellow birch forest type accounts for 19 percent of the State's forest land, followed by aspen (12 percent) and white oak/red oak/hickory (7 percent). Balsam fir, red maple, and sugar maple are the three most common species by number of trees. Growing-stock volume on timberland has continued to increase and now totals about 30.2 billion cubic feet (ft 3 ).The associated net growth, harvest removals, and mortality totaled 674, 313, and 303 million ft 3 / year, respectively. In addition to information on forest attributes, this report includes data on forest health, land use change, family forest owners, timber-product outputs, and future forests.
