Approach

Determine potential resilience of different locations, and actively restore less resilient sites.

Tactics

  • Increase resilience of native species where intact or productive communities exist.
  • Decrease resilience of existing non-native species with appropriate management practices or biotic path herbicides.
  • Monitor soil stability and productivity to reduce low-fertility soils that promote non-natives.
  • Identify and promote early-successional natives that may be able to compete with non-natives.
