. A noxious weed is the nationwide designation used to identify unwanted plants that are not native or exotic to a landscape. Noxious weeds have the ability to propagate in new,non-native climates such as Montana because they are adaptive and once they are established they will out-compete native vegetation and take over.
Noxious weeds cause detrimental effects on the environment:
* Disrupt Native Vegetation
* Lower Biodiversity
* Lower Forage Potential
* Cause Soil Runoff and Streamside Erosion
Where do noxious weeds come from?
Most commonly,noxious weeds come from Europe and Asia. They do not pose a problem in their native country because environmental factors such as moisture,aridity,soil composition,sunlight and competition of other naturally cohabitating plants and organisms prevent these weeds from developing invasive monocultures.
