Analysis of Sulphur Cinquefoil in British Columbia Description: Working Paper 16/1996 - Comprehensive technical report on the biology, natural history and management strategies for sulphur cinquefoil. Sulphur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta L.), an introduced plant in North America, is believed to displace native plant species in undisturbed habitats and may alter the functioning of ecosystems by lowering biodiversity. Despite concern about this species, little information is available about its impact on ecosystems, and no information specific to British Columbia is available. |

Guide to Monitoring Exotic and Invasive Plants Description: Monitoring the expansion and impact of exotic and invasive plants is a task that can be accomplished at various levels. Traditionally, activities to study and monitor exotic plants have been the domain of research scientists, biologists and other professionals within government agencies, academic institutions and museums. The increasing impact of exotics on natural habitats requires that a broader level of participation in monitoring their spread is required. Naturalists, in particular, could greatly assist by contributing to the development of a comprehensive base of information that would facilitate efforts to control or slow the spread of exotic plants. |

Description: Heightened concerns in recent years over the alarming spread of the invasive purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), an introduced species from Eurasia, prompted the convening of a workshop in Ottawa in March, 1992 hosted by the Secretariat to the North American Wetlands Conservation Council (Canada). This workshop brought together specialists and resource managers from government, non-government and private sector agencies, such as the nursery trade and honey producers, across Canada. The meeting was held to solicit information, advice and assistance and seek consensus on practical solutions and national actions required for curbing the spread of this species. |
