Advancing EBIPM Through Education

Abstract

Various technologies are available for managing invasive plants and restoring desirable plants on rangelands, but acceptable long-term control and restoration can only be achieved when integrated management approaches focus on the ecological processes driving plant community change and not on particular plant species or manipulation practices.1 A conceptual framework, such as the one developed for ecologically based invasive plant management (EBIPM), can help managers visualize and understand the linkages among site assessment, eco- logical processes, vegetation dynamics, and manipulation practices, and make more effective invasive plant manage- ment decisions.
