Our Purpose

The Invasive Plants website contains information on invasive plants, their impact on native species, and their control (particularly biological control).

The web pages focus on work conducted by students and staff of the Ecology and Management of Invasive Plants Program, directed by Bernd Blossey, at Cornell University. The majority of our work concerns species and ecosystems in northeastern North America, but most species we work with are distributed widely through North America. 

We invite you to explore this website and to participate or contribute to ongoing research projects.
