The Great Plains of North America encompass approximately 1,300,000 km² of land from Texas to Saskatchewan. The integrity of these lands is under continual assault by long-established and newly-arrived invasive plant species, which can threaten native species and diminish land values and ecological goods and services by degrading desired grassland resources. The Great Plains are a mixture of privately and publicly owned lands, which leads to a patchwork of varying management goals and strategies for controlling invasive plants. Continually updated knowledge is required for efficient and effective management of threats posed by changing environments and invasive plants. Here we discuss current challenges, contemporary management strategies, and management tools and their integration, in hopes of presenting a knowledge resource for new and experienced land managers and others involved in making decisions regarding invasive plant management in the Great Plains.

北美大平原约1,300,000 km ²从德克萨斯州到萨斯喀彻温省的土地。这些土地的完整性受到长期存在的和新近入侵的植物物种的不断攻击，这些物种可能会威胁本地物种，并通过破坏所需的草地资源而降低土地价值以及生态产品和服务。大平原是私有土地和公有土地的混合物，这导致了各种各样的管理目标和控制入侵植物的策略的拼凑而成。需要不断更新的知识，以有效地管理不断变化的环境和入侵植物所构成的威胁。在这里，我们讨论当前的挑战，当代的管理策略，管理工具及其集成，
