2013/14 Treatments: Brazilian Pepper ~128,550 acres swept for Brazilian Pepper Majority of control effort in Big Cypress National Preserve and FWC Wildlife Management Areas

2013/14 Treatments: Melaleuca ~ 341,000 acres swept for melaleuca Predominantly maintenance control work in nearly all management areas

2013/14 Treatments: Old World Climbing Fern ~ 18,500 acres swept for OWCF Tree islands and other forested wetlands in Southern Glades, Holey Land, and Rotenberger WMA’s Follow up work (post- aerial) and foliar treatments of widely scattered OWCF in Loxahatchee NWR

2013/14 Treatments: Australian Pine ~ 16,000 acres swept for Australian pine Most work in eastern ENP and Southern Glades

ECISMA Plant Monitoring : Systematic Reconnaissance Flights – Point data collected on fixed transects 2008 –Present: Digital Aerial Sketch Mapping – Aerial mapping “on-the-fly” Other monitoring activities – EddMaps – Invasion corridor monitoring – Ground-based monitoring by many partners

Digital Aerial Sketch Mapping 2012/2013 – Landscape scale inventory of four detectable species – LeRoy Rodgers, Tony Pernas, and Steven D. Hill (2014) Invasive Plant Science and Management 7(2):

ECISMA Exotic Plant Monitoring Objectives

Landscape Assessments of Distribution & Abundance Systematic Reconnaissance Flights – Landscape level assessment – Fixed transects (4 km interval) – Provides sample-based abundance estimates

Detailed Mapping to Direct Planned Control Efforts Utilizes sketch mapping and 250 m grid system. Provides resource managers with more precise and up-to-date maps in planned work areas.

2014 Sample Data 250 m cells Outlier points

Measure Change Over Time CERP Monitoring Design Incorporating invasive plants Expand to entire ECISMA Enhance ability to detect change over time and make inferences at multiple scales

Detect New Invasions Promote expansion of early detection monitoring programs and reporting networks. NPS COORIDORS OF INVASIVENESS PROGRAM
