The Use of Prescribed Fire to Control Invasive Exotic Weeds at Jepson Prairie Preserve
Jepson Prairie in Solano County, an outstanding example of remnant California Central Valley vernal pool and grassland habitats, is threatened by invasive exotic species. This paper describes the results of a 200-acre late-spring prescribed fire conducted at Jepson Prairie in June of 1995 and aimed at reducing the cover of an extensive infestation of Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae). Bur...
متن کاملA decision tree for evaluation of exotic plant pathogens for classical biological control of introduced invasive weeds
Plant pathogens for biological control of weeds must satisfy criteria for eYcacy, safety, and deployment before they are actually included in the list of candidates for weed management strategies. Decisions are made throughout the development of each candidate agent concerning whether or not further research is justiWed. These decisions concern pathogen attributes such as collection information...
متن کاملRestoring Balance: Using Exotic Species to Control Invasive Exotic Species
Invasive species threaten natural habitats worldwide, and active human management is required to prevent invasion, contain spread, or remediate ecosystems following habitat degradation. One powerful technology for invasive species management in sensitive habitats is biological control, the use of carefully selected upper-trophic-level organisms that utilize the exotic pest as a resource, thereb...

متن کاملA New Optimization via Invasive Weeds Algorithm for Dynamic Facility Layout Problem
The dynamic facility layout problem (DFLP) is the problem of finding positions of departments onthe plant floor for multiple periods (material flows between departments change during the planning horizon)such that departments do not overlap, and the sum of the material handling and rearrangement costs isminimized. In this paper a new optimization algorithm inspired from colonizing weeds, Invasi...
