Abstract
This document, “Minnesota’s Top 124 Terrestrial Invasive Plants and Pests: Priorities for Research,” describes the outcome of efforts to identify which invasive species pose the greatest threats to Minnesota’s forests, prairies, wetlands, and agriculture. This information will be used to set funding priorities for the Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pests Center (MITPPC) at the University of Minnesota. Funding needs for research on terrestrial invasive species far exceed the resources that are currently available. Thus, a fair, consistent, and transparent process to determine priorities for future research is essential. Those priorities will be reflected in regular requests for proposals. The lists in this report do not supersede agency regulatory lists or management priorities. For example, the Noxious Weed Advisory Committee has a risk assessment process to identify harmful plants that threaten the state and recommend appropriate regulatory and management actions. Existing risk assessments were consulted as the species in this prioritization were evaluated.
