The total number of plant species present varied considerably over all plots, independent of treatment. Total number of species are higher in glyphosate than in other treatments due to the ability of invading plant species to colonize on exposed sites. The initial reduction of shrub and herb cover of naturally occurring species following herbicide application probably allows for the establishment of such "invaders". The plant species treated with glyphosate exhibited generally poor vigour, even 8 years after treatment. Excellent vigour ratings were more frequent in the manual and control treatments than in the glyphosate sites. Shrub and herb heights in the glyphosate treatment were consistently lower than in all other treatments (Figure 2). Also, conifers on the glyphosate plots were 35% taller than on all other treatments (Figure 3). Apparently, glyphosate is a useful tool for controlling brush competition, and for releasing regenerating conifers. This study confirms previous research that documented ...
