A team of researchers at Louisiana Tech University has found that a naturally occurring microorganism acts as a natural herbicide against giant salvinia. http://www.physorg.com/news177864774.html Biology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:10:04 EST news177864774 (PhysOrg.com) -- Matt Rinella, faculty in Animal and Range Science at Montana State University and an ecologist at the Fort Keogh Agricultural Experiment Station in Miles City, recently published the results of a 16-year study in the journal Ecological Applications. http://www.physorg.com/news172920210.html Biology Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:00:01 EST news172920210 (PhysOrg.com) -- When scientists discuss Everglades restoration, one phrase pops up again and again -- "getting the water right." http://www.physorg.com/news172413808.html Space & Earth Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:44:40 EST news172413808 If the future warming trends that scientists have projected are realized, one of the country's most aggressive exotic plants will have the potential to invade more U.S. land area, according to a new study published in the current issue of the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management. The study found that tamarisk -prevalent today in some parts of the region, but generally limited to warm and dry environments -could expand its range into currently uninvaded areas. http://www.physorg.com/news172246709.html Biology Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:40:05 EST news172246709 (PhysOrg.com) -- Hybrids of the invasive Australian plant species Casuarina exist in Florida, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and university cooperators have found. http://www.physorg.com/news172153647.html Biology Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:40:04 EST news172153647 Like most invasive plants introduced to the U.S. from Europe and other places, garlic mustard first found it easy to dominate the natives. A new study indicates that eventually, however, its primary weapon - a fungus-killing toxin injected into the soil - becomes less potent. http://www.physorg.com/news171049065.html Biology Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:38:24 EST news171049065 (PhysOrg.com) -- Battling invasive plants is nothing new to Montanans, but a newcomer on the scene dwells in the water. This aquatic invader is called Eurasian watermilfoil. Fortunately, Montanans can take preventive action against this waterborne species, as its distribution across the state is very limited. http://www.physorg.com/news165847290.html Biology Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:42:46 EST news165847290 Researchers at the University of Delaware have discovered a new reason why the tall, tasseled reed Phragmites australis is one of the most invasive plants in the United States. http://www.physorg.com/news163250124.html Biology Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:15:42 EST news163250124 Global airlines be forewarned: June 2010 could be a busy month for invasive plants, insects and animals seeking free rides to distant lands. http://www.physorg.com/news154803740.html Biology Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:03:47 EST news154803740 U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) Ecologist Jim Miller, Ph.D., one of the foremost authorities on nonnative plants in the South, today identified the invasive plant species he believes pose the biggest threats to southern forest ecosystems in 2009. http://www.physorg.com/news150991399.html Space & Earth Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:03:19 EST news150991399
