A lower presence of invasive plants was in areas with a greater percentage of forest cover, older-age forests, closer to a wildfire, and further away from a city. However, areas in proximity to a railway, highway, county road, and coastline had a greater presence of invasive plant species.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the trends in the invasive plant species presence.
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the relationships between the presence of invasive plant species and the occurrence of wildfires and prescribed fires as well as ecological, socioeconomic, urbanization, and extreme weather factors.
