3 Invasive Weeds of the Lake Tahoe Basin Invasive weeds are aggressive plants that have been introduced into an environment outside of their native range. Sometimes referred to as alien species, these weeds have been separated from the natural enemies that help control them in their homeland. They grow rapidly, reproduce profusely, and compete with native plants for water, light, and nutrients. Some of these weeds have been designated as noxious by California and Nevada law, requiring control efforts by property owners. INDEX Common Name (Scientific Name) Code Page THISTLES Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare) CIVU 6-7 Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense) CIAR4 8-9 Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans) CANU Scotch Thistle (Onopordum acanthium) ONAC Anderson s Thistle (Cirsium andersonii) CIAN Elk Thistle (Cirsium scariosum) CISC Invasive weeds tend to outcompete native plants, especially where lands have been disturbed. When they displace native plants and animals, they lower diversity, reduce hunting and fishing potential, change the aesthetics of a habitat, inhibit recreational activities and tourism, crowd out endangered species, and reduce forage value. At Lake Tahoe, weeds that have coarse or shallow root systems, such as perennial pepperweed and dalmatian toadflax, increase soil erosion and threaten lake clarity. This guidebook will help you identify the invasive weeds threatening the Lake Tahoe Basin. Common look-alikes are also included to help you differentiate between desirable native plants, noted J, and undesirable invasives, designated L. Plants that could potentially become invasive are marked as K. You may choose to avoid planting these species on your property. Information on management is also included for each invasive weed, as is the noxious weed status in Nevada and California. California s noxious weed rating system designation, which is based on distribution of the weed, is also provided. A rated weeds are normally limited in distribution throughout the state; B rated weeds are more widespread; and C rated weeds are widespread throughout the state. If you find an invasive weed, please report the infestation to the appropriate county (see contact numbers on the inside back cover).

29 WEED MAPPING CONTACT INFORMATION The Lake Tahoe Basin Weed Coordinating Group has been mapping weeds in the basin since Regular mapping and inventory helps us determine which species are present in the basin, what management methods are appropriate, and whether management has been a success. We can also track patterns of spread and plan preventive practices. We welcome your mapping information. Please include: the date surveyed the weed name and code (preferably the scientific name) the latitude and longitude of the observation if available. If using a global positioning system (GPS) unit, set your meter to datum NAD83 and decimal degrees. a thorough description of the location the size of the infestation in square feet or acres the density of the infestation (number of plants or estimated percent cover) any control methods you employed Nevada Douglas County Weed District (775) Washoe County Weed Hotline (775) California Nevada County Agriculture Department (530) Placer County Agriculture Department (530) El Dorado County Agriculture Department (530) Funded by: The Lake Tahoe License Plate Program, Nevada Division of State Lands Nevada Department of Agriculture Please do not take any management actions or remove plants until they have been positively identified. Consult your county weed contact for assistance. Forward the data to the appropriate county. See listings on next page
