Beginning on Monday, March 6, I will be recognizing some of the best sites on the Internet that have been featured on this site during the past 10 years. If you know of particular sites that belong in this category of the top 10 to 20 sites, please let me know. I will be featuring them one per day throughout the rest of the month and will be archiving them on a special page afterwards. Thank you for all of your support.

February 28, 2006 - Impact of Alien Plants on Hawai‘i's Native Biota
This report emphasizes the 86 most invasive exotic plants among the more than 4,600 alien plant species that have been introduced into Hawaii. The site describes these invasive plants and their effects, as well as efforts at remediation, which are a particular challenge, as some of these plants grow so rapidly that they may overtop the tree canopy in a bit less than a year. There is a dated but pertinent literature on the subject, as well. The site also links to a companion site on Pest Plants of Hawaiian Native Ecosystems that features these invasive plants, with images -- sites by Clifford W. Smith, University of Hawaii at Manoa.

The Suburban Habitat site focuses on the home environment as an opportunity to cultivate a home ecosystem, with featured links on water, food, shelter, biobalance, harmony, tools, recycling and habitat development. The site emphasizes development of a balanced ecosystem in home gardening, including integrated pest management and preference of natural solutions over chemical warfare and other ecologically disruptive solutions. Much of the site is about ambiance, so don't be surprised if a ladybug follows your mouse around or you hear sounds of nature on your computer. (***) -SR
