Nonnative Invasive Species on Forest Land

USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis surveys

UNDER CONSTRUCTION! The following are early county-level mapped results of selected nonnative invasive species surveys on forest land for 11 States. October 2001-September 2004. Readers are cautioned that these maps depict "estimates" of the probability of colonization, which varies with county size, observers, extent of forest land within the county, and sample intensity. These results also represent a preliminary review draft and subject to change as new information becomes available. At present, sample intensity varies widely by State.
