New Invaders of the Northwest (Jun 2010) - FHTET-2009-04
The purpose of this guide is to help land users recognize new invasive plants early on, before they become large and expensive problems. This hands-on field guide focuses on 62 newly invasive species not yet widely distributed throughout the Northwest. Each species is highlighted with multiple photos and descriptions emphasizing key identification traits, typical habitat, current distribution, and ways to distinguish it from look-alike species. The guide includes weed hotline numbers for those states with such programs in place, so that new infestations can be reported and treated immediately.
Note: Print copy may be available from FHTET, contact Lisa Cress at lcress@fs.fed.us (1 copy per request).

Invasive Species, Climate Change and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation: Addressing Multiple Drivers of Global Change (Sep 2010; PDF | 1.3 MB)
Global Invasive Species Programme.
Separately, climate change and invasive species are two of the greatest threats to biodiversity and the ecosystem services upon which humanity relies. Combined their impacts will be compounded, potentially resulting in negative feedback loops with increasingly dire consequences. This publication from GISP highlights recent efforts to identify the underlying dynamics linking these two global change drivers and the optimal responses for the policy-making and research communities.

Invasive
Saltcedar and Russian Olive Trees Consume Similar
Amounts of Water as Native Cottonwoods and Willows,
Wildlife Effects Mixed (Apr 28, 2010)
DOI. USGS. Fort Collins Science Center.
According
to the report, Saltcedar and Russian Olive
Control Demonstration Act Science Assessment, non-native saltcedar
and Russian
olive trees that have spread along streams and water
bodies in the West may not be as detrimental
to wildlife and water availability as believed. Scientists
conducted a review of the scientific literature to assess
the existing state of the science on the distribution and
spread, water consumption, and control methods for saltcedar
(also called tamarisk) and Russian olive. One notable finding
is that native trees such as cottonwoods and willows along
western rivers typically consume as much water as non-native
saltcedar and Russian olive.

Global
Indicators of Biological Invasion: Species Numbers,
Biodiversity Impact and Policy Responses (Jan 2010)
- Abstract / Press
Release - Impact of Nature's Invading Aliens Measured for First
Time (Jan
22, 2010)
International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Invasive alien species, ranging from disease and plants,
to rats and goats, are one of the top three threats
to life on this planet, according to a new publication coordinated
by the Global
Invasive Species Programme, of which IUCN is
a partner. The authors looked at 57 countries and found that,
on average, there are 50 non-indigenous species per country
which have a negative impact on biodiversity.
