Entry ID:
dodusacorpsaec_d_nips
Summary
Abstract:
The Army Enviromental Center (AEC) gave the Waterways Experiment
Station (WES) the task of developing a database covering noxious and nuisance plants because there is no central database on nonindigenous plant species on Army installations. There are a few databases that exist that identify the composition of vegetation at some military installations; however, these systems were developed to account for threatened and endangered species or for management of lands that have been disturbed during training operations. Purpose: To develop a central database on nonindigenous plant species on army installations. Methodology Description: A questionnaire was developed to solicity information on the problem vegetation and the control methods utilized. Personnel at army installations nationwide were asked to complete the questionnaire. Supplementary Information: Information for this metadata was taken from the report - U.S. Geological Survey, Nonindigenous Plants Proceedings of the Workshop on Databases, Gainesville, Florida, September 24-25, 1997.
