[MAIPC] Invasive plants and climate change

[James Remuzzi]

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
