Exotic Plant Mapping at Homestead National Monument of America
Bolli JM. 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 in 2003 and 2004 to document species composition and distributions. 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. This inventory has proven to be very useful, therefore it is recommended that invasive plant species are mapped on a regular basis and control measures are well documented. Reed canary grass, threatening the undisturbed Freeman School Prairie, is the most urgent issue documented in this report.
