A tangle of slender vines in green and brown with oval leaves here and there appears in a large trash can lined with a black plastic bag, in a photo taken from above. The trash can sits on grass and the photographer’s legs, in blue jeans, can be partly seen.
Today’s photo is a couple hours’ worth of work - a bunch of invasive periwinkle (Vinca minor) & invasive Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) I pulled up by the roots this evening.

#weeds #invasives Spotted KNAPWEED, one of the most notorious weeds of the Intermountain West…
WHAT'S A WEED?
A species of movement that
feeds on CHAOS &
roots in IMBALANCE.
The idea of a war on weeds'
is itself a weed.

Yet another example. Remove #invasives and improve native fauna activity and survival. #ethology #conservation. @euanritchie.bsky.social theconversation.com/when-feral-c...
Thrilled to share that our recent paper in Botany 🔗 doi.org/10.1139/cjb-... is the #EditorsPick of the week!🏆
We explored how host driven selection—not just location— helps invaders like 𝑃. 𝑗𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑎 dominate via unique AMF partners.
Thanks to @cdnsciencepub.com and co-authors!

another Robin, so glad they have been spending these glorious sunny days in my yard. In winter they form flocks in my area and visit about every week. It is bitter sweet. the Starlings will seek these Robin flocks out and watch where they forage and push them off all the best berry trees. #Invasives

It is sad to watch Faxinus slowing going away.

Stunningly beautiful #swamp #forest albeit another story of plant #invasives! The ornamental water little is taking over the Rayong Botanical Gardens and paper bark forest from the sacred lotus flower with its deep cultural significance in #Thailand.
Tapinoma magnum, fourmi noire brillante et supercoloniale, envahit l’Europe. Ses colonies couvrent jusqu’à 20 ha, exploitent pucerons et sol, et causent dégâts urbains et agricoles. Recherche et stratégies de lutte sont en cours. 🐜🌱 #fourmis #invasives #biodiversité

They can remove/kill invasive plants !!! Just about everyone anywhere can kill at least one invasive plant! #invasives #invasiveplants

"The level of buckthorn clearing the goats accomplished in two days — by mouth no less — would normally take Feisthauer and her husband weeks if not months to pull out and chop down by hand."

One decade ago I was still concerned with invasive wildlife species taking over the few nature zoos that are left globally.
Since a few years now I am hoping for more #invasives. But they just can't make up for the total losses we see today.
This feels very surreal - because it is.

Invasive Plants Reshape Tropical Ecosystems and Local Livelihoods
Lantana camara now blankets about 74 million acres in India's Western Ghats, displacing native forest and prompting the Soliga community to seek new livelihoods. Read more: getnews.me/invasive-plants-reshape-... #lantana #invasives #tropics
A woman kneels down in the middle of a forest among a large population of invasive stilt grass. A large log and dappled sunlight lies on the the forest floor
Two pvc quadrats lay next to each other on the forest floor, largely obscured by a near monoculture of invasive stilt grass. A large log and many standing trees can be seen in the background
A small section of bare ground in the center of a quadrat lies exposed after being cleared of invasive stiltgrass
What's the large compound German word for the joyous satisfaction of starting work on a new study?

Spotted Lanternflies have been showing up in increasing numbers in my county. Maryland has put out information on how individuals can try to manage them.

Been working on knocking back #invasives. Japanese Stiltgrass has been ridiculous; but victories over Spongy Moths over last year as well as Japanese Beetles… Then, today, saw my first #SpottedLanternfly in #Woodstock. (Left of leaf). Knew it was coming, but still sobering. Adding to the list… 🤓
#nativeinsects make life as we know it possible. It is not only the invasive species that threaten the forest product industries it is the #invasives that are destroying OUR FOOD WEBS. #invasiveplants we need native butterflies et al ...........https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2501340122
