1 Mapping and Prioritization: What's the connection? Kayla Malone Chaffee County Noxious Weed Department Supervisor
2 Outline Invasion Curve & IMP Distribution Examples A-list B-list C-list Using distribution data locally. Questions?
3 Distribution Data is Critical! State-level decision-makers: Utilize existing distribution data to determine current and potential management objectives. Analyze potential risks. Determine state-level prioritization system that reflects regional risks and values. Assist in developing regional management plans. Local land mangers: Implement state-level management objectives. Utilize and contribute to local population data. Develop local prioritization system that reflects local risks and values. Assist in developing local management plans.
4 Mapping for State Compliance Colorado Department of Agriculture mapping system: Historically, Quarter Quads. Moving to EDDMapS.
5 EDDMapS & EDDMapS West Free, accessible, easy to use mapping software. NEW Colorado State Wide Mapping System!!! Identification tools, pictures, distribution maps. State-specific species lists! Control and management reporting tools. Training tools, guides, walk-throughs, demos. Mobile Data and WIFI only upload options. Notifications for local managers. Advanced search feature.
6 EDDMapS Data Requirements Observation Date (Automatically recorded in the app!) Scientific Name Common Name State (Automatically recorded in the app!) County (Automatically recorded in the app!) Latitude and Longitude (Automatically recorded in the app!) Reporter (Automatically recorded in the app!) Gross Area and Units Some measurement of the frequency of occurrence (Canopy Closure, density, abundance, number of plants, stem count)
7 Components of IMP Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting. Prevention. Clean equipment, minimize disturbances, reduce potential introductions. Support healthy ecosystems. Research and Development. Control and Management. Mechanical Chemical Biological Restoration.

10 Distribution Examples A List CO State Noxious Weed List A Not Known to Occur in Colorado Common Crupina - Crupina vulgaris Erect winter annual. Seeds with barbs. Distributed by livestock, wildlife, people. Seeds float. Invades grasslands, rangelands, open forests. Has the ability to outcompete native species. Not currently widespread in the US. High potential impacts (agricultural and natural losses). High dispersal ability. Potential impacts: High Odds of encounter: Low Cost to control (Localized): Extremely Low Cost to control (Regional): Low

Rangelands, pastures, open forests, swamps, riverbeds, grasslands. 15+ years of seed viability. Toxic to livestock. Established populations in both Eastern and Western U.S. Potential impacts: High Odds of encounter: Moderate Cost to control (localized): Low Cost to control (national): Moderate

17 Tansy Ragwort Discovered between Data uploaded to EDDMapS June 11, First known record. HUGE MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY! What is next? Local surveys to determine entire scope and scale of infestation. Determine current distribution. Identify appropriate management strategies. Treat infestations. Monitor for effectiveness, and adjust strategy if necessary. Education campaign for local landowners and stakeholders.
18 Distribution Examples A List CO State Noxious Weed List A More than 10 Known Populations Mediterranean sage Salvia aethiopis. Biennial. 100,000 seeds per plant. Distributed by livestock, wildlife, people. Invades degraded sagebrush, disturbed sites, rangelands, fields, roadsides. Moderate distributions across the US. High potential impacts (agricultural and natural losses). High dispersal ability. Potential impacts: High Odds of encounter: Moderate Cost to control (Localized): High Cost to control (Regional): Moderate
19 Distribution Examples A List EDRR CONTAINMENT SUPPRESSION CO State Noxious Weed List A More than 10 Known Populations
20 Distribution Examples B List CO State Noxious Weed List B Common Tansy Tanacetum vulgare. Perennial. Creeping root system. 50,000 seeds per plant per year. Toxic if ingested. Invades disturbed sites, ditch banks, riparian areas. Moderate distributions across in the US. High potential impacts (agricultural and natural losses). Potential impacts: High Odds of encounter: Moderate Cost to control (Localized): Moderate Cost to control (Regional): High

23 Distribution Examples C List CO State Noxious Weed List C Common Mullein Verbascus thapsus. Biennial Up to 180,000 seeds per plant. Quick growth results in dense ground cover. Prevents establishment of native herbs or grasses post-fire. Invades disturbed habitats. High distributions across in the US. High potential impacts (agricultural and natural losses). Potential impacts: High Odds of encounter: High Cost to control (Localized): High Cost to control (Regional): High

26 Prioritization To rank in order of importance. Fundamentally a judgement call reflecting values. Depends on societal context and scale. System should include: Current invasive species distributions. Local land-use. Economic Returns. Threat of current invasive species distributions. Ability to control existing/established populations.
27 Current Invasive Species Distributions State and Federal level decision makers depend on data provided by managers. Management plans can only be effective IF the current distributions are known!
28 Using Mapping Data Locally Musk Thistle Carduus nutans
29
30 Musk Thistle Approximately 2 acres on USFS property. First observed in 2006; EDDMapS Report in NEXT STEPS: Work with USFS staff to determine historical treatments. Determine entire scope and scale of local infestation with site visit. Develop management plans with appropriate treatment efforts. Conduct treatment actions. Monitor populations for regrowth.
31 Keys to Improving Prioritization Submit current population information frequently. Understand regional patterns and trends. Communicate with landowners in your region. Work with regional, state, and federal managers to understand large-scale trends. Use the distribution resources available to prioritize your local management strategies. Understand how your local management plans fit into large management goals.
32 Questions & Comments? It is only with accurate, reliable distribution data that we can effectively prioritize management efforts across jurisdictions and regions in such a way that results in the most cost-effective and beneficial invasive species management programs.
