Role of herbicides in invasive plant management systems

摘要：

Invasive plants alter ecological processes, displace desirable species, and reduce wildlife habitat quality, riparian area integrity, and rangeland value.Invasive plant presence is often symptomatic of management problems that need correcting before long‐term rangeland improvement can occur.Control of invasive plants may open niches for establishment of other undesirable plants unless desirable plants are present to fill vacated niches.Integrated weed management employs planned, sequential use of multiple tactics (e.g.chemical, biological, cultural, and mechanical control measures) to improve ecosystem function and structure while reducing invasive plant impacts below desired thresholds.Sustainable integrated invasive plant management strategies require assessing plant impacts, understanding and managing the processes influencing invasion, and knowledge of invasive plant biology and ecology.
