Alien Plant Species In Eastern Wisconsin Natural Areas, Lawrence A. Leitner

Field Station Bulletins

An expanded study of non-native plant species in eastern Wisconsin Natural Areas resulted in a total of 64 exotics being found. The most abundant were Rhamnus cathartica, Taraxacum officinale, and Berberis thunbergii. Sites suffering the greatest degrees of invasion were the oak openings, while the more mesic areas appeared relatively resistant.

Status Of Alien Plant Species In Eight State Naturalareas In Eastern Wisconsin, Lawrence A. Leitner

Field Station Bulletins

An annotated list of the non-native plant species found in eight eastern Wisconsin natural areas and their relative abundances in 1988 is presented. Except for European buckthorn, aliens were scattered and at low densities, several found mainly along trails. The most seriously invaded sites were Sanders Park and Muskego Park, areas with numerous hiking trails and relatively open, oak-dominated canopies.
