General Techniques and Various "Common" Weeds
|
This sub-section is a collection of general weed management techniques and information on "common invasive weeds".  Pete Sarafian's
series of articles on local invasive species and how they can be managed for "Oakleaves". He put them into a single document he hopes will be of use to the local home owners and others.
California Invasive Plant
Council's "Weed Worker's Handbook - A Guide to Techniques for Removing Bay Area Invasive Plants". You can find much more info at Cal-IPC's web site:

Invasive Plant Profiles. The Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve put together several syntheses for their invasives many of which are the same species found in the Elfin Forest. The following is their weed control document: "Weed Control by Species:Elkhorn Slough
National Estuarine Research Reserve, October 2000" The next several items are from the "Global Invasive Species Team" at UC Davis. Or at least it was. GIST was funded by The Nature Conservancy, but budget realities cause them to "defund" the effort. This is too bad because they had been able to compile an impressive amount of information of managing invasive species. The information they generated is still on-line more or less at temporary web sites. Below are of their efforts: One of GIST's first efforts was the
"Weed Control Methods Handbook:...". It is a synthesis of some of the nitty gritty techniques of weed control. Click left for a PDF copy updated to 2003.The Nature Conservancy / TNCweeds also provided a series of weed management abstracts. Those for species in the Elfin Forest follow:
