[MAIPC] Invasive plants and climate change

[phytodoer at aol.com]

but mile a minute was introduced (as a weed in imported nursery stock) in southern Pennsylvania - I believe in the late 1940s.
Again, "explosions" of various vine species could be explained by the build-up of propagule sources as satellite populations establish in ever more places in the region.

I would second the USDA work on CO2 re vines would add Mile a Minute to those species previously mentioned —vines: both invasive and native, have exploded in last 20 years and are having a devastating impact on Native Forests and Shrublands.

Lewis Ziska with USDA has done interesting work about the worrying effects of rising CO2 levels on invasive vines (plus native Poison ivy). My sense is that Kudzu is gradually becoming worse in the northern mid-Atlantic as things warm. Colder temps used to hold back Hedera helix in our north but that obviously is changing. I'm sure there is a long list of southern invasives marching toward us now... Cheers,   Steve Young, Arlington VA

Question:  What, if any, invasive plant species appear to be spreading into the mid-Atlantic due to climate change?  I know there’s been talk of southern magnolia and other species that are native to just south of here starting to naturalize in our area, but I’m more interested exotic invasives.  

 

What invasive plants are common in southern Virginia or northern North Carolina that we just don’t have in our area, but could move here with warmer climates?

 

Thanks,

Damien
