Neophyte management protocol 2016
Description
In 2007, the Gesäuse National Park initiated a management to combat invasive neophytes. Initially, only individual areas were processed. Since 2010, annual actions have been extended to the entire protected area. The focus is on the free-keeping of sensitive habitats such as avalanche troughs, avalanches, riparian areas, etc. The following three species are actively combated: Glandy springwort (Impatiens glandulifera), Canada and giant gold rod (Solidago canadensis, S. gigantea) and Japanese perennial nodule (Fallopia japonica).
Last year’s trend continues: Due to consistent control and control, most of the gland was successfully pushed back, as well as Japanese perennial knoe-terich. Gold rod remains problematic, not least because of the extensive stocks along the railway line crossing the national park and the settlement areas that provide new seed replenishment every year. Thus, neophytes continue to enter the protected area
The mapping of the neophytes in the local area of Gstatterboden can serve as a basis for a serious fight by the municipality of Gstatterboden/Admont, the Styria regional forest and volunteers. Suggested methods of processing the individual neophyte deposits and an assessment of the dominance of the stocks are mentioned.
