Plant Profile - Hydrilla
It sure has been a busy week for us here at AERF! As a result, our blog has been rather quiet, however we hope to leave you with something special for the weekend. Often you will see us reference different plants in our facebook, twitter, and blog postings. You may, more often than not, find yourself scratching your head as to what exact plant we are actually talking about. To give our readers a little more background into the plants we so often discuss, we bring you the AERF Update's "Plant Profile" section.
It only seems appropriate that we have our first "Plant Profile" feature one of the the most prevalent and problematic aquatic invasive plant species in the world! Hydrilla (H. verticillata) is by far one of the most well known submersed invasive plant species which can have both deleterious environmental and economic effects. For starters, let’s talk about how exactly Hydrilla found it's way into United States and
what makes it such a problem for our nations water bodies.

Nations, representatives from 31 different state and federal resources management agencies, and more than a dozen NGO, University and Industry partners.
