Why don we use science to convert the exotic plant infested areas, back to local native ecosystems?
Instead of a “War”, we should start a Conversion Process. Why don’t we, without hostility, conflict, antagonism, or with genocide in mind, instead encourage the exotics to give up ground permanently, to allow the local native ecosystems to have a place in the landscape also? Conducting a Conversion Process back to the original local native ecosystem, is really the only way to deal with the exotics. You have to respect the fact that their seeds have title to the soil for at least the next 100 years, and no amount of force is going to make them give up their title. So you have to find a scientific way to negotiate with them, so that their viable seeds will remain in the soil but never sprout—meanwhile, above-ground, the native ecosystems can come back and continue to exist. The Conversion Process could produce GLORIOUS results, and we have some example of that potential on our web site at http://www.ecoseeds/com/wild.html.THE WAR IS OVER!! and the CONVERSION back to NATIVE ECOSYSTEMS B
