Western North American Naturalist 61 (3): 347-358. Authors’ abstract: The number of documented exotic plants in Yellowstone National Park has increased from 85 known in 1986 to over 185 today. Exotic plants are having a substantial impact on the park’s natural and cultural resources and are a high management priority. We have adopted an integrated weed management approach with regard to exotic vegetation, emphasizing prevention, education, early detection and eradication, control and, to a lesser degree, monitoring. The program involves over 140 staff with program expenditures averaging approximately $190,000 annually. Prevention actions include: using only approved gravel on construction projects; banning hay in the backcountry; transport of only certified weed-seed-free hay through Yellowstone; requiring construction equipment to be pressure-cleaned prior to entering the park; and re-vegetation with native species after road, housing, and other construction projects have disturbed ground. Over 4500 acres, primarily along roadsides and in developed areas, are surveyed annually in early detection efforts with emphasis placed on eradicating small new infestations of highly invasive species, such as sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta L.) and leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.). Control efforts focus on about 30 priority species, such as spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.), oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum L.), and hoary cress (Cardaria draba [L.] Desv.) using chemical, mechanical, and cultural techniques. A total of 2027 acres were treated during 1998, whereas control efforts for 12 species occurred on 2596 acres during the previous 3-year period 1995-1997. Strong and expanding partnerships with other federal, state, and local agencies and private companies contribute to management efforts within the park. Future program goals emphasize increases in base funding to ensure continued weed management efforts as well as expanding survey, monitoring, and reclamation efforts. Ultimately, a more rigorous assessment of program effectiveness is desired. Olson, B. E., R. T. Wallander, and P. K. Fay. 1997. Intensive cattle grazing of oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum). Weed Technology 11 (1): 176-181. Authors’ abstract: Oxeye daisy has invaded seeded pastures, roadsides, and mountain rangelands in western Montana. In 1990, we began a study to: (1) determine use of oxeye daisy and introduced perennial grasses by cattle; (2) determine effects of intensive cattle grazing on the number of oxeye daisy seeds in the soil; and (3) assess effects of intensive grazing on year-to-year changes in oxeye daisy and associated perennial grasses. Cattle grazed oxeye daisy but much of their impact was from trampling or removing stems. The number of oxeye daisy seeds in the soil seed bank was lower in 1992 than in 1990 in grazed areas, whereas the number was higher in ungrazed areas. Two years of intensive grazing |
