Home Science and Management Rangeland Noxious Weeds Noxious Weeds: A Disaster Looking for a Place to Happen in Arizona!! by Larry D. Howery and George B. Ruyle
Introduction
There is a very serious problem creeping into our state that has the potential to adversely affect each and every Arizonan. This problem is particularly sinister because by the time it becomes widely noticeable, it will probably be too late to do much about it. Whether you are a camper, hunter, fisherman, farmer, rancher, recreationist, birder, wilderness advocate, environmentalist, or even if you have no interest in outdoor activities of any kind, noxious weeds threaten the quality of natural resources on both public and private lands, and will potentially cost Arizonans millions of tax dollars-unless we do something, now
What Is A Weed? What Is A Noxious Weed?
The definition of a weed depends entirely on one's perspective. Here, a weed is defined as "a plant that interferes with the management objectives of a given area of land at a given time."

Host : Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC)
Scope : The Directory is an Internet-based, searchable database containing up to the minute information on people, research, technology, policy, and management issues relevant to aquatic invasions. The scope of the Directory falls into four broad areas: 1) The ecology of aquatic invasions: vectors, impacts, risk assessment and response, 2) The ecology of ballast water, 3) Prevention and treatment technologies, and 4) Policy and management.

About MISC
The Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC) is a voluntary partnership of county, state and federal government agencies, non-profit organizations and private businesses that are working together to battle invasive alien pests. MISC members plan and coordinate management efforts against recently introduced plants and animals that pose the greatest threat to native ecosystems, watersheds and the economy if not controlled (see current MISC Action Plan ). A six-person field crew puts committee plans into action, acting as a rapid response team to control Maui’s worst pests before they spread (see the current MISC Action Plan . MISC also works to prevent new pest species from entering and becoming established in Maui County. For more information about MISC, contact Teya Penniman (MISC manager) at (808) 579-2115 (Maui), fax (808) 579-2119, or via e-mail at maui.invasivespecies@gte.net For general information about harmful alien species in Hawaiias well as species-specific information (including distribution maps and special reports)see the Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk project (HEAR) website

Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council's List of Florida's Most Invasive Species Purpose: To focus attention on:
  • The impacts exotic pest plants have on native bio-diversity in Florida ecosystems. The impact of exotic pest plants on the integrity of native plant community functions. Habitat losses due to exotic plant infestations. The impacts of exotic plants on endangered species via habitat loss and alteration (e.g., Cape Sable seaside sparrow). The need to prevent such losses by comprehensive management for exotic pest plants. The socioeconomic impacts of exotic pest plants (e.g., increased wildfires in Melaleuca Changes in the seriousness of different exotic pest plants over time. The need to provide information that will help managers set priorities for management.

    About BIISC
    The Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) is a voluntary partnership of private citizens, community organizations, businesses, land owners, and government agencies united to address invasive species issues on the island of Hawaii. Specific goals include eradication or containment of Miconia calvescens , utilizing "Rapid Response Teams" to eradicate other newly established pests, and preventing new invasive species from becoming established. The group is concerned with all non-native invasive pests threatening agriculture, native ecosystems, industry, human health or the quality of life within Hawaii County. BIISC strives for effective pest prevention and control through communication, coordinated planning and organizational support when existing capabilities are found to be insufficient. In this way, BIISC serves to coordinate, advise and assist organizations seeking to prioritize and implement effective pest control and prevention measures. BIISC measures success in terms of pest infestations prevented, contained or eradicated. BIISC strives to avoid the creation of new bureaucratic processes and structures. Whenever possible BIISC will work with existing organizations and agencies to achieve goals. However, when organizational, financial, or other barriers prevent timely and appropriate response to imminent threat (e.g

    C atalog of I nvasive P lant S pecies of the U nited S tates
    During the past decade, awareness has been raised of the economic and ecological damage that is caused by invasive plants in the United States. Invasive plants have been introduced into the United States from other countries and have rapidly spread throughout the nation's cropland and ecological communities. These plants lack natural herbivores and parasites to limit their population size and are quickly able to dominate their new habitats. Every state has been affected by invasive species, costing the United States billions of dollars annually in agricultural losses and control measures. Thousands of plants have been introduced into the United States, but not all of them have become aggressive invaders. Common attributes of invasive species include rapid growth, short life-cycles (the ability to germinate, grow, flower, and produce seeds rapidly), and abundant seed production. These attributes allow these plants to displace native species and disrupt the normal functioning of ecosystems. Wildlife that depends on native plants for food and shelter are also adversely affected. Invasive plants are a threat to biodiversity and can be found in nature preserves across the world. The Florida Everglades has already lost hundreds of thousands of acres to the invasive melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia), resulting in huge losses of native plant and animal biodiversity. Scientists fear that this reduction in biodiversity can lead to the homogenization of the world's flora and the extinction of many native plant species.
