Vegetation management for restored ecosystems
Restored and degraded ecosystems may take many years to recover. Participants will learn about reestablishing natural disturbances and controlling invasive species. These strategies are useful for managing vegetation in restored ecosystems after initial establishment and in ecosystems that can be restored solely by implementing management practices.
Topics
- Determine the kinds of natural disturbances that may need to be re-established on a site and the invasive species that may require management
- Use non-chemical management techniques to control invasive species and promote a self-regenerating native plant community
- Use chemical management (i.e., herbicides) to control invasive species in natural and restored ecosystems
- Develop strategies for sites with many vegetation challenges that require the use of multiple methods
It is strongly recommended but not required that students complete the Site Assessment for Ecological Restoration course before taking the other courses in the series, as it lays the groundwork for the subsequent courses.
