Invasive Pest Species: Impacts on Agricultural Production, Natural Resources, and the Environment - Issue Paper IP20 / Don M. Huber and Martin E. Hugh-Jones, March 2002, 18 pp.
This CAST issue paper provides policymakers and others with a nine-step guide to curtail the impact of non-native pests, including diseases, insects, and animals. These pests are the source of an estimated $137 billion annual economic burden to the United States and are the second leading cause of species endangerment. In addition, bioterrorism introduces another unknown risk factor into the already unstable mix of detrimental exotic species.
Invasive Plant Species - Issue Paper IP 13 / Barbra H. Mullin. February 2000, 18 pp.
Findings are presented on the growing danger to national forests, recreational, and agricultural lands from noxious weed infestations. These infestations are causing costly and irreparable damage to wetlands, wildlife habitat, wildlands, rangelands, and aquatic and riparian areas on public and private lands all across the United States, especially in popular western recreation states. The release of the paper was scheduled to coincide with National Invasive Weed Awareness Week, February 28 through March 3, 2000.
This is a short list of the more obscure print documents that address invasive, noxious, and/or nonindigenous species. Note that most documents in the MSU Libraries are most easily located by a subject search as outlined in the General Research - Catalog and Subject Searching section of this guide.
