Abstract

Selective and specific management for the control of exotic (non-native) plants is necessary for preservation of native plant communities. Managers of federal, state, or county land holdings and parks, wildlife areas, recreation areas, and historic sites are frequently charged with selectively managing the enhancement of desirable or native plant communities. In addition to exotic plant control programs, selective management may include vegetation control on fence rows, road rights-of-way, boundary line corridors, trails, and understory brush control for aesthetics.
