1. Help with Asiatic Sand Sedge (Maryland)
From: Chris Lea (chris_lea(at)nps.gov)
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has research or management
experience with control of Asiatic Sand Sedge (Carex kobomugi), an
invasive species of coastal dunes in the mid-Atlantic region. This species
is apparently an incipient invader at Assateague Island National Seashore
and shows signs that it may rapidly expand. It is featured on
a Virginia Native Plant Society/Virginia Division of Natural Heritage
invasive plant fact sheet, and we have followed some of those
recommendations.
---Larry Morse adds that Kartesz (1999) records Carex kobomugi from
several Atlantic Coast states (MA, RI, NJ, MD, VA, and NC).
