Field Guide to Kentucky's Invasive Plants
Abstract
Invasive plants are non-native plants that cause ecological, environmental, or economic damage. Because they can spread rapidly and take over, forming dense monocultures, invasive plants threaten the diversity and health of forests, prairies, streams, and other natural areas. In addition, they can cause a range of other problems, from harm to native plants and animals to losses in agriculture, tourism, and property value.
