Inventory of invasive exotic flora at George Washington Carver National Monument

Wait DA. 2003. Inventory of invasive exotic flora at George Washington Carver National Monument

A survey of invasive exotic and problematic plants was conducted in prairie and forest habitats at George Washington Carver National Monument in the summer of 2001. One hundred and seventy-one 100 m2 plots were sampled for the presence, cover, and dispersion of seven targeted exotic and seven problematic species throughout the park. Seven invasive exotic species were encountered; tall fescue and bull thistle were most abundant-both species found predominately in prairie habitat. Seven potentially problem species were encountered; horse nettle and dewberry were most abundant-both also found in prairie habitats.
