  1. Invasive species By Matt Wecht

  2. What are they? • Summery • Out side species introduced mainly by humans • Can be animals, plants, or even bacteria. • Organisms that are introduced to a new environment free of predators and unfit conditions will flourish • Often kills native species • Chokes them out

  3. Multiflora Rose • Prime example • Rosa multifloraThunb. Rose family (Rosaceae)

  4. Multiflora Rose lifecycle • Reproduces through seeds within fruits birds enjoy • This helps them spread far • Rooting at tips of canes reproduces • Flowering begins in may • Fruits develop in later summer • Seeds can stay good for 20 years

  5. Locations • Comman pasture weed in Northeastern and midwestern U.S. Not in Rocky Mountains, the Southeastern Coastal Plains, and the Nevada and California desert areas. • Does not do well in north.

  6. Complications caused by Rose • Invades prairies, savannas, open woodlands, and forest edges. • It replaces other vegetation • Is thorny and shrub that can form fences • Can block off areas

  7. Why does it matter? • They can kill off common plants • Harms wildlife dependent on local plants • Can block entire areas off from humans • Illegal to sell or breed • Acts as a weed, spreads fast

  8. Where is it from? • Introduced from Japan in 1866 • Used as stock for ornamental roses • Used to combat erosion • Used to create fences for livestock

  9. Range of spread • Grows well in most conditions • Can not grow in standing water • Cant tolerate winter temperatures below – 28ºF • Cant live in extremely dry habitats • This limits it from the North and deserts

  10. Methods to control • Fires can eliminate them, and all plants • Mowing works, however all roots must be destroyed • Using herbicides on freshly cut stems (Glyphosate) • Rose rosette disease can kill it • Can also infect local plants

  11. Why is it bad? • It grows very densely • Kills local plant life • Spreads fast • Hard to control • Harms wildlife • Creates fences

Web. 21 Sept. 2011. <http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/microbes/main.shtml>. • Used for general information regarding invasive species and how they work. Provided background knowledge need to understand further research • Reliable due to it being a government sponsored source. Hosted by the national agricultural library and dedicated entirely to invasive species.

Web. 21 Sept. 2011. <http://www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/romu1.htm>. • Used for distribution information along with general information about the plant itself. Background information on other topics related was present. • It is reliable as it as a nonprofit government sponsored organization. It is dedicated entirely to invasive species and weeds. The authors are all highly qualified and educated.

Web. 21 Sept. 2011. <http://wiki.bugwood.org/Rosa_multiflora>. • Used for in-depth information regarding the biological aspects of the plant such as its name and class. Provided a wealth of knowledge concerning every section of the project. • It is reliable due to its non-profit status as a repository for information regarding agricultural. It was written and edited by several other reliable groups and qualified writers.

  15. "Invasive Species - Multiflora Rose (Rosa Multiflora) - WDNR." Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Web. 21 Sept. 2011. <http://dnr.wi.gov/invasives/fact/rose.htm>. • This was used for information regarding the plants life cycle and legal information regarding transactions of the plant. • This is reliable due the site being a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources site. This means it is government approved and used.

  16. Szafoni, Bob. "Multiflora Rose." Illinois Natural History Survey - University of Illinois. Web. 21 Sept. 2011. <http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/research/VMG/mrose.html>. • This site was used for its information regarding its effects on natural areas and related information. It also gave information regarding its current status both legally and agriculturally. • This is trustworthy due to being written by a college professor and being on a trusted college website.
