4 Objectives: You will be able to: Explain what an invasive species is and is not. Give examples of some of their impacts. Compare the invasion curve to strategies. Report occurrences of priority species. Recognize at least ten (5 new) invasive plants Michigan Natural Features Inventory
5 Agenda: The context of invasive species management Invasives 101 Definitions Some impacts A framework for action Mapping (MISIN) Identification of terrestrial invasive species Michigan Natural Features Inventory
6 Michigan Natural Features Inventory Maintains the most comprehensive database on Michigan s vulnerable elements of biodiversity GIS based database: ~ 18,000 element occurrences (EO s) endangered, threatened, special concern spp. high quality natural communities 420 plants 302 animals 77 natural communities
7 Imagine if. you were in charge of protecting Michigan s biodiversity How would you go about it?
8 Natural Communities The coarse filter
9 Vulnerable Species The fine filter
10 Biodiversity is not just a numbers game. It s about coevolved relationships. Keep all the parts! Resiliency! Michigan Natural Features Inventory
11
12 Fragmentation Development Roads, etc. Aquatic barriers: Dams Threats Stream-road intersections Terrestrial barriers Roads Hydrologic alteration Water withdrawal GL water level changes Nutrient enrichment Point source pollution Non-point source pollution Suppression of natural processes Fire, flooding, etc. Loss of upland buffers Invasive species Climate change
13 People protect what they know and love. Identify the wild places that are important to you and share them with others.
14 That was the context for invasive species management. What is an invasive species?

17 Purple loosestrife
18 Garlic mustard!
19 Spotted knapweed!
20 Glossy buckthorn!
21 Invasive phragmites!

23 Oriental bittersweet Japanese knotweed Invasive species are and eroding native biodiversity at a seemingly rapid pace. Japanese barberry Swallow-wort
24
25 Invasive species change the rules of existence for associated species. If the rules change too fast & last a long time, there can be consequences for many species.
26
27 Invasive species: Non-native to the ecosystem under consideration AND Likely to cause harm to: Economy Environment Human health Executive order Bill Clinton, 1999 Big impacts to things we desire.
28 Biodiversity Native species: is not have just a been here for numbers a sufficient game. amount of time It s to about develop coevolved complex and relationships. essential relationships Michigan Natural Features Inventory Non-native species: have NOT been here for a sufficient amount of time to develop complex and essential relationships
29 Which of these are invasive? Introduced species Non-indigenous species Exotic species Alien species Non-native species These all mean the same thing. They have been introduced to new areas on purpose or by accident. Only some of them become invasive.
30 Invasive species: Non-native to the ecosystem under consideration AND Likely to cause harm to: Economy Environment Human health Executive order Bill Clinton, 1999 Big impacts to things we desire.
31 Can native species be invasive? Not part of the definition in the executive order Sometimes they can be harmful But it typically happens when the natural processes of the natural community has been altered or disturbed
32 Should we be managing invasive species? We can do something or we can do nothing.
33 We have protected many places through early detection and treatment of invasive species.

38 Eroding the base of the food chain Insects take energy from plants and become food for other organisms Non-native plants are toxic to many native insect specialists; insect diversity in invaded areas Insect diversity is vital to baby birds Bringing Nature Home -Douglas Tallamy

40 Should we be managing invasive species? We can do something or we can do nothing.
41 YES! But be smart about it. Invasive species are NOT everywhere. Stop or slow the spread of high threat species that are still uncommon. Protect uninvaded and restorable high value sites. Act now before things get worse, BUT: Planning for success is critical. Taking a random shot-gun approach is not a good plan or strategy.
42 Area invaded Typical invasion/colonization Thanks Ellen Jacquart and Suzan Campbell! Widespread awareness Detection (scattered locations) Introduction Lag time By the time they are widespread, costs sky rocket and the failure rate is high. Time easier, cheapest feasible, cheaper difficult, costs more, intensive, expensive mgmt. lower success
43 Area invaded Our challenge is to pick the right battles. Thanks Ellen Jacquart and Suzan Campbell! Big impact species wherever they are uncommon. Widespread awareness (many locations) Important places Success likely Detection (scattered locations) Introduction Time Prevention Early detectionand response Prioritizing winnable battles. Control, contain, restore.
44 It is crucial to know: What are you trying to protect? Is the invader a real threat? Can we really control it? Where is it, how much? PLACES SPECIES METHODS WINNABLE? Michigan Natural Features Inventory

48 Tips for plant identification Some plant traits vary more than others. It s important to focus on the most consistent and distinctive characteristics that differentiate the plant of interest from similar plants. These include: 1. Leaf arrangement 2. Leaf characteristics 3. Flower characteristics 4. Habit 5. Habitat Tell a botanist these things more likely to identify your plant.
