of increasing concern Antonio DiTommaso Department of Crop and Soil Sciences Cornell University ad97cornelledu Why Worry Invasive plants estimated to cost the US economy 40 billionyear 264 billion due to cropland weeds. „But the cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) has a far wider range.: it now occurs in these latitudes on both sides of the Cordillera across the continent. I saw it in unfrequented spots in Chile, Entre Rios, and Banda oriental. In the latter country alone, very many (probably several hundred) square miles are covered with one mass of these prickly plants, and are impenetrable by man or beast. Over the undulating plains, where these great beds occur, nothing else can live. Before their introduction, however, I apprehend the surface supported as in other parts a rank herbage. I doubt whether any case is on record of an invasion of so grand scale of one plant over the aborigines”. By: Elizabeth S. Butler. Pd. 3. What is an Endangered Species?.
