OIPC Researcher Database

The purpose of this database is to allow researchers to locate one another to enhance collaboration and to allow non-scientists to locate experts on specific invasive plant topics in Ohio.  Listed below are names of researchers working on invasive plant topics in Ohio who have contributed information.  To prevent many web trawlers from obtaining email addresses from this site, the "@" in the email addresses has been replaced with "(at)".

 

If you are a researcher who would like to also contribute, please see our online entry form.
