Global Change Project Title: Interactions of Climate Change and Other Environmental Factors With Invasive Plant Infestation in the Arid West Principal Investigator: Jonathan M. Friedman, Fort Collins Science Center Co-Investigators: Jayne Belnap, Southwest Biological Science Center; Kathryn Thomas, Southwest Biological Science Center Introduction The invasive forb component of this project is developing spatial models of the predicted distribution for 20 invasive forbs in the southwest. Predictive model development explores the premise that invasive forbs can act as generalists constrained only by climate or as specialists limited not only by climate but also by other factors including native species composition, soil type, and disturbance. The second premise of the study is that landscapes that have been predicted to be vulnerable to native vegetation change as a result of global climate change will also be susceptible to colonization by invasive species. MODIS satellite imagery is being explored as a means to identify vulnerable landscapes that may already be experiencing change and infestation by invasive species. In western North America, riparian cottonwood and other native species are being replaced by invasive non-native trees. For example, the invasive tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima and T. chinensis), is now the dominant riparian woody species in the Southwestern United States. These invasions have been associated with loss of plant diversity, degradation of habitat for vertebrate animals, decreased channel conveyance, and increased water loss from evapotranspiration. We are relating abundance of 46 widespread native and non-native riparian woody plants to a suite of environmental factors at 476 sites in 17 western states. We are also comparing cold hardiness in the native plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides subsp. monilifera) and the introduced tamarisk in a common garden of trees collected across the Great Plains. Finally, we are performing DNA micro-satellite analysis of cottonwood and tamarisk to determine whether regional variation in cold hardiness is related to genetic isolation.

Extractions: P.R.E.: Center for Conservation Biology Stanford University Stanford, California 94305 When one comes into a city to which he is a stranger, he ought to consider its situation, how it lies as to the winds and the rising of the sun; for its influence is not the same whether it lies to the north or to the south, to the rising or to the setting sun. These things one ought to consider most attentively, and concerning the waters which the inhabitants use, whether they be marshy and soft, or hard and running from elevated and rocky situations, and then if saltish and unfit for cooking; and the ground, whether it be naked and deficient in water, or wooded and well-watered, and whether it lies in a hollow, confined situation or is elevated and cold... From these things he must proceed to investigate everything else. For if one knows all these things well, ... he cannot miss knowing, when he comes into a strange city, either the diseases peculiar to the place or the particular nature of the common diseases, or commit mistakes, as is likely to be the case provided one had not previously considered these matters. And in particular, as the season and year advances, he can tell what epidemic disease will attack the city, ... and what each individual will be in danger of experiencing from the change of regimen.

In 1994, as a response to this situation, the Swedish Parliament established the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics at Lund University. The IIIEE now has an international program reaching over sixty countries through its Master's Degree in Environmental Management and Policy and an extensive and significant research program. Since 1999 the IIIEE has also been working with education of young students between 14 and 18 years old especially through the Young Masters Program (YMP) and the Global Environmental Youth Convention (GEYC). www.iiiee.se

The USGCRP began as a presidential initiative in 1989 and was codified by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-606), which mandates development of a coordinated interagency research program. Participants in the USGCRP include:
