Summary
Abstract: The Alien Plants Ranking System (APRS) is a computer-implemented system to help
land managers make difficult decisions concerning invasive nonnative plants.
The management of invasive plants is difficult, expensive, and requires a
long-term commitment. Therefore, land managers must focus their limited
resources, targeting the species that cause major impacts or threats to
resources within their ... View entire text
