This ID book contains tips for identifying a number of aquatic invasive species (AIS) that areconsidered high-risk to Minnesota waters, as well as some common native lookalike species.
Invasions of non-native plants into forests of the Southern United States continue to go unchecked and only partially un-monitored. These infestations increasingly erode forest productivity, hindering forest use and management activities, and degrading diversity and wildlife habitat. Often called non-native, exotic, non-indigenous, alien, or noxious weeds, they occur as trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, and forbs. This guide provides information on accurate identification of the 56 non-native plants and groups that are currently invading the forests of the 13 Southern States. In additin, it lists other non-native plants of growing concern. Illustrations. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.
An easy-to-use, wide-ranging guide to invasive plants in North America. Features full-color photos and descriptions of more than 250 alien species—both terrestrial and aquatic—that are in some cases changing the landscape to an almost unimaginable degree. Accompanying text describes the plant's environmental and economic impacts as well as management techniques used to control it. Also includes an explanation of what an invasive is and a step-by-step identification key. An essential guide to understanding this unprecedented environmental challenge.
How to assemble a monitoring kit, survey, collect, identify and report invasive plant and animal species in Minnesota waters. Includes plant identification guide and animal identification guide. Appendices include how to disinfect monitoring equipment and how to construct a Zebra/Quagga mussel sampler.
This guide contains tips for identifying a number of aquatic invasive species that are considered high-risk to Minnesota waters, as well as some common native lookalike species. The guide includes plants, invertebrates, and fish. Each entry indicates whether the species is invasive or native and includes common and scientific names; identification keys; similar-looking species; habitat; range map; and color photographs.
The purpose of this field guide is to aid professionals in identifying aquatic invasive species (AIS), collecting specimens to confirm identification, and reporting AIS detected in Ontario waters. Organization of the field guide follows the process of identifying species, collecting information and speciments for verification, and reporting sightings. Identification of over 50 species covering algae, plants, invertebrates, and fishes is included. Each species can be found in the photo index.--Document.
