“…Because one cannot always discern the exact starting point (in time and space) for an exotic plant invasion and quantify the finite amount of resources, managers need some indicator of success in managing invasive plant presence in order to best allocate their funds (Moser et al, 2008). One indicator of potential success of restoration efforts is the difference between the current state of an ecosystem and the desired state, perhaps based on historical evidence (Fulé et al, 1997;Moser et al, 2008).…”

“…One indicator of potential success of restoration efforts is the difference between the current state of an ecosystem and the desired state, perhaps based on historical evidence (Fulé et al, 1997;Moser et al, 2008). Those managers possessing sequential data points have many tools at their disposal to determine the severity and rate of spread of nonnative invasive species (Higgins et al, 1996).…”

Crosby, Michael K.; and Fan, Shirley X., "Invasibility of three major non-native invasive shrubs and associated factors in Upper Midwest U.S. forest lands" (2016 a b s t r a c tWe used non-native invasive plant data from the US Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program, spatial statistical methods, and the space (cover class)-for-time approach to quantify the invasion potential and success (''invasibility") of three major invasive shrubs (multiflora rose, non-native bush honeysuckles, and common buckthorn) in broadly classified forest-type groups in seven Upper Midwest states. Smoothed maps of presence and cover percent showed a strong clustering pattern for all three invasive shrubs despite their different ranges. The species are clustered around major cities or urban areas (e.g., Chicago, Illinois, and Des Moines, Iowa), indicating the potential role humans played in their invasion and spread on the landscape and throughout the Midwest. Conditional inference tree (ctree) models further quantified the significant factors contributing to the observed regional patterns: for distribution of multiflora rose, percentage of forest cover in the county (measuring human disturbance intensity) and stand density index; for distribution of common buckthorn, distance to major highways. Non-native bush honeysuckles were not associated with any disturbance and site/stand variables except for latitude and longitude. The infested FIA plots by cover class were positively associated in space, signifying a concentric-like spread trend from previously infested sites (hot spots) to surrounding areas. By forest-type groups or as a whole, the three species spread slowly at earlier stages, but recently have increased significantly in presence/ expansion. Oak/hickory and elm/ash/cottonwood forests were more susceptible to the three invasive shrubs compared to other forests. We recommend that resource managers and planners prescribe control and mitigation treatments for non-native invasive plants by forest types and spatial locations close to highways and residences.

“…These programs, especially the CRP of 1984, have encouraged tree plantations. As a result, much of Mississippi has been cleared of existing timber and converted to short-rotation (15-to 30-year) Loblolly pine plantations (Moser et al, 2008;Wear and Greis, 2002;Bragg et al, 2006). Details on Mississippi forest history can be found in Fickle (2001).…”
