Many U.S. forests are privately owned, particularly in the Eastern and North Central part of the country. That makes control of invasive plants and pests challenging because efforts must be coordinated across landowners. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign explores how differences in ownership motivation affects willingness to control and how economic incentives can be implemented most efficiently.
