Is Biological Control of Weeds Conservation’s Blind Spot?

The Quarterly review of biology, 2023
Invasive alien species are among the most important threats to biodiversity, with invasive plants ranking among the highest. Classical weed biological control—or biocontrol—reunites exotic plants with host-specific natural enemies from their native range

Defining Weeds of Natural Areas

Springer Series on Environmental Management, 1997
Weeds are usually defined in the negative: they are plants that are not wanted. Of course, which plants are wanted and which are unwanted depends on the setting and sometimes on individual prejudices and tastes. In this sense, the termweedis subjective and personal. Where there is a clear, agreed-upon vision of which species are wanted and, better yet,

Positive Edge Effects of Natural Habitats Produce Matching Response in Beetle Population and Plant Morphometry in Amaranth Crop

The Southwestern entomologist, 2022
. Components of a surrounding agricultural matrix can be important to the ecology of agroecosystems because they modulate biodiversity, abundance of pests (i.e., arthropods or weeds), and their natural enemies.

Practitioner Insights into Weed Management on California’s Rangelands and Natural Areas

Environmental Management, 2019
Working rangelands and natural areas span diverse ecosystems and face both ecological and economic threats from weed invasion. Restoration practitioners and land managers hold a voluminous cache of place-based weed management experience and knowledge that has largely been untapped by the research community. We surveyed 260 California rangeland managers

Naturally selected dominant weeds as heavy metal accumulators and excluders assisted by rhizosphere bacteria in a mining area

Chemosphere, 2020
Managers need more practical and promising plants for use in heavy metal phytoremediation. Although previous studies have identified the potential of some weeds and microbial strains in phytoremediation, the potential of dominant weeds and the relationship between weeds and their rhizosphere bacterial strains are still unknown.

The Risks Associated with Weed Spread in Australia and Implications for Natural Areas

Natural Areas Journal, 2011
ABSTRACT: Most recently naturalized weeds (invasive non-native plant species, or species growing outside their natural range) in Australia are still only locally distributed, so it is critical to identify the pathways by which these and more widespread species are most likely to spread and to identify the domestic sources from which they are most ...

A review of the integration of classical biological control with other techniques to manage invasive weeds in natural areas and rangelands

BioControl, 2017
Integrating classical biological control with other management techniques such as herbicide, fire, mechanical control, grazing, or plant competition, can be the most effective way to manage invasive weeds in natural areas and rangelands. Biological control agents can be protected from potential negative impacts of these weed control methods through ...

Glufosinate-ammonium: a review of the current state of knowledge.

Pest Management Science, 2020
Glufosinate is a key herbicide to manage glyphosate-resistant weeds because it is a broad-spectrum herbicide, and transgenic glufosinate-resistant crops are available. Although glufosinate use has increased exponentially over the past decade, the treated
