Hi, I am conducting a national weed status assessment for glossy buckthorn [Frangula alnus]. One of my goals is to characterize its status in each U.S. state where it is known to occur, which includes the mid-Atlantic region. If you have seen this species, I would appreciate if you can provide any information on the following. It doesn’t have to be much…just a few sentences…but it does need to be specific to your state.
* What kinds of ecological or socio-economic impacts is this species having in your state in natural, agricultural, or anthropogenic areas?
* Who in
your state (if anyone) is specifically targeting this species for
control/eradication (i.e., which agencies, NGOs, homeowners) and what kinds of
actions are they taking?
* Is
there anything else about this species’ status in your state that you think
would be helpful?
