Abstract/Summary:
Our purpose is to describe principles and practices to consider when developing integrated strategies to manage invasive plants on rangeland. Sustainable integrated invasive plant management strategies require assessing their impacts, under-standing and managing the processes influencing invasion, knowledge of invasive plant biology and ecology, and integrating management tactics based on eco-logical principles. Ultimately, for these strategies to be successful, they must be compatible with and contribute to achieving overall rangeland ecosystem management goals and objectives.
