Abstract
Invasive exotic plants are displacing native plants and rapidly degrading native ecosystems. In this paper, we chronicle the sometimes erratic invasion biology of woody plants and review control strategies for some of the most serious woody invaders of eastern forests. Design features of a well-integrated control strategy include early detection, rapid response with the most effective control techniques possible, persistence and continued monitoring, and outreach/education to reduce the number of source populations on neighboring lands. Invasive plants are probably here to stay, but through concerted and diligent effort their spread and impact can be greatly reduced.
