Exotic Plant Mapping at Homestead National Monument of America
Bolli J. 2005. Exotic Plant Mapping at Homestead National Monument of America
A survey of invasive and exotic plants was conducted in the prairie habitat at Homestead National Monument of America from 7/23 to 11/13/2003 and 8/9 to 11/07/2004 to document species composition and distributions. Plant locations were documented by walking throughout the prairie. Sixteen invasive taxa were found as isolated plants, localized populations, or to cover extensive areas. The most common taxa include smooth brome, dogwood, and native thistles. The objectives of this study were to: 1. Document the invasive exotic species distribution at the monument 2. Describe distributional aspects of invasive exotic plant species within the project area 3. Develop a baseline for an exotic species monitoring program, and 4. To identify areas where exotic control efforts should be targeted.
