Mapping Non-native Plants Using Hyperspectral Imagery
One of the significant threats to global biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is the spread of invasive plant species (Mooney and Cleland, 2001). Continuing anthropogenic related disturbances such as land conversion, grazing, and habitat fragmentation, combined with international trade and climate change indicate that these trends are likely to continue (Zedler and Scheid, 1988). In this cont...
متن کاملPoisonous native range plants
Plant poisoning is a common problem throughout North America, causing significant economic losses not only through death loss, but through the costs associated with reproductive loss, poor growth rates, herbicides, etc. Through good pasture management, recognizing toxic plants, and by understanding the effects of toxins on animals, plant poisoning can be largely avoided. Plants contain a variet...
متن کاملNative and Non-Native Plants Provide Similar Refuge to Invertebrate Prey, but Less than Artificial Plants
Non-native species introductions are widespread and can affect ecosystem functioning by altering the structure of food webs. Invading plants often modify habitat structure, which may affect the suitability of vegetation as refuge and could thus impact predator-prey dynamics. Yet little is known about how the replacement of native by non-native vegetation affects predator-prey dynamics. We hypot...
متن کاملEffects of native and non-native vertebrate mutualists on plants.
Extinctions can leave species without mutualist partners and thus potentially reduce their fitness. In cases where non-native species function as mutualists, mutualism disruption associated with species' extinction may be mitigated. To assess the effectiveness of mutualist species with different origins, we conducted a meta-analysis in which we compared the effectiveness of pollination and seed...
متن کاملLeaching of heavy metal from native plants by chemical leachants
Plant biomass harvested after heavy-metal phytoremediation must be considered as a hazardous waste that should be contained or treated appropriately before disposal or reuse. This study provides an evaluation of extractants for the removal of lead from Abutilon Theophrastus biomass. The research was carried out a leaching study to determine the lead-extraction efficiency of the different leacha...
