[MAIPC] Looking for information on the status of Frangula alnus (glossy buckthorn)

[Koop, Anthony - MRP-APHIS]

Hi,

I am conducting a national weed status assessment for glossy buckthorn [Frangula alnus]. One of my goals is to characterize its status in each U.S. state where it is known to occur, which includes the mid-Atlantic region. If you have seen this species, I would appreciate if you can provide any information on the following.  It doesn't have to be much...just a few sentences...but it does need to be specific to your state.

  *   What kinds of ecological or socio-economic impacts is this species having in your state in natural, agricultural, or anthropogenic areas?
  *   Who in your state (if anyone) is specifically targeting this species for control/eradication (i.e., which agencies, NGOs, homeowners) and what kinds of actions are they taking?
  *   Is there anything else about this species' status in your state that you think would be helpful?
Thank you,

Tony
