Influence of Intensity and Duration of Invasion by Amur Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) on Mixed Hardwood Forests of Indiana

Abstract: The expansion of populations of invasive species continues to compromise the ecological and economic integrity of our natural resources. The negative effects of invasive species on native biota are widely reported. However, less is known about how the duration (i.e., age of oldest invaders) and intensity (i.e., density and percent cover) of an invasion influences native plant diversity and abundance at the microsite scale. We examined the influence of density, percent cover, and age of Amur honeysuckle (a nonn… Show more

“…Sites were within mature secondary deciduous forests that were heavily invaded by L. maackii and in which L. maackii was the dominant invasive species (Shields et al 2015a). The age and level of L. maackii invasion, soil type and overstory composition varied across the five sites (Table 1).…”

“…This study was conducted at five sites within the glaciated region of IN, USA: (i) Martell Experimental Research Forest (Martell); (ii) Vigo County Park District property (Terre Haute); (iii) Ross Biological Reserve (Ross); (iv) Purdue University Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Lugar Farm (Lugar Farm) and (v) a privately owned woodlot (Pursell; Table 1 ). Sites were within mature secondary deciduous forests that were heavily invaded by L. maackii and in which L. maackii was the dominant invasive species ( Shields et al 2015a ). The age and level of L. maackii invasion, soil type and overstory composition varied across the five sites ( Table 1 ).…”

“…), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.), sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marshall), and black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.). Forests at Lugar Farm are heavily invaded with dense thickets of L. maackii (Shields et al 2015), and the sites have received little or no treatment for any invasive plant species. Topographically, the sites were generally flat, with slopes of less than 5%.…”

“…Its rapid growth rate, prolific seed and fruit production, bird‐dispersed seed, and the ability to reproduce vegetatively contribute to its invasiveness. A wide variety of studies have documented the negative impacts of L. maackii invasion to native plant communities (Collier et al ; Gorchov & Trisel ; Hartman & McCarthy , ; Boyce , ; Shields et al ; McNeish & McEwan ). Lonicera maackii can be controlled by mechanical or chemical treatments, prescribed fire, or a combination of these methods (Czarapata ).…”
