Maroon and black text over a gold background reads: "New resource! A guide to forest understory revegetation to help manage buckthorn and other invasive plants."

New Resource! A guide put together by Forest Resources researchers Mike Schuster, Peter Reich, Nick Partington, and Andrew Kaul and the Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pests Center (MITPPC) synthesizes current knowledge on forest understory revegetation. The document is designed to provide science-driven guidance on strategies that effectively suppress invasive plant re-establishment and promote native biodiversity, with a focus on buckthorn, a widespread and resilient invader of forest understories through much of North America.
