Inventories of invasive non-native plants were conducted by Utah State University between 2002 and 2005 in the following Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) park units: Arches National Park (ARCH), Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (BLCA), Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA), Canyonlands National Park (CANY), Capitol Reef National Park (CARE), Cedar Breaks National Monument (CEBR), Colorado National Monument (COLM), Dinosaur National Monument (DINO), Hovenweep National Monument (HOVE), Natural Bridges National Monument (NABR), and Zion National Park (ZION). The objectives of this work were to document distribution and abundance of targeted invasive non-native plant species in anticipation of developing effective vegetation control strategies, to identify significant sources of weed introductions and vectors involved in weed spread, and to test and refine data collection and field inventory collection techniques for future NCPN inventory use.
