Exotic Plant Monitoring Protocol: Southern Plains Network, Sonoran Desert Network, and Chihuahuan Desert Network

Southern Plains Network. Exotic Plant Monitoring Protocol: Southern Plains Network, Sonoran Desert Network, and Chihuahuan Desert Network. 2016. National Park Service

As part of their long-term monitoring programs, the Sonoran Desert Network, Southern Plains Network, and Chihuahuan Desert Network identified invasive exotic plants as a high-priority vital sign for monitoring. The goals of invasive exotic plant monitoring are to (1) detect exotic plants early in the invasive cycle, when eradication is most effective, economical, and ecologically sound, (2) support a long-term, ecosystem-wide strategy for controlling invasive plant species, and (3) provide park managers with access to systematically collected information that enables them to be well-informed about the status of ecosystems and prioritize dedication of limited resources to invasive-plant control efforts.
