The Threat of Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum) in NATL: Current Status and Management
Glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) poses a potential threat to NATL ecosystems, classified as moderate. Its current management includes routine monitoring and control measures such as manual removal and herbicide application to foliage, stem, and stump soil. Some sites have been eradicated or are in decline, while others remain under threat. Legacy sites date back to before 2009, with active monitoring instituted by Ethan Carter since May 2011. Comprehensive understanding and management strategies are crucial for safeguarding NATL biodiversity against this invasive species.
