TY - JOUR T1 - Control of Knotweed and other invasive species and experiences restoring native species in the Pacific Northwest US JF - Native Plants Journal JO - NATIVE PLANTS JOURNAL SP - 20 LP - 26 DO - 10.2979/NPJ.2006.7.1.20 VL - 7 IS - 1 AU - Roberta Davenport Y1 - 2006/03/20 UR - http://npj.uwpress.org/content/7/1/20.abstract N2 - Invasive knotweed (Polygonum L. [Polygonaceae]) species are a significant threat to native ecological communities that occur in riparian areas and other vulnerable habitats. This project applied practical methods to control Bohemian knotweed (Polygonum x bohemicum). This species was controlled for 2 y prior to restoring appropriate native species for the Chehalis River Surge Plain Natural Area Preserve in Washington State (US). The invasive species Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor Weihe & Nees [Rosaceae]), scotsbroom (Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link [Fabaceae]), and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L. Raeush [Poaceae]) were also controlled. ER -
