Invasive Exotic Plant Monitoring along Pleasant Creek in Capitol Reef National Park: Field Season 2014.

摘要

Invasive exotic plant (IEP) species are a significant threat to natural ecosystem integrity and biodiversity, and controlling IEPs is a high priority for the National Park Service. The Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) selected the early detection of IEPs as one of 11 monitoring protocols to be implemented as part of its long-term monitoring program. In conjunction with park staff, NCPN created a target list of priority IEPs for early detection.
