Summary of Methods: This is a paper that highlights the growing need for integrated brush management to include mechanical, cultural, biological and grazing to control stand of brush.
Article Summary / Main Points:
• Any single application of a brush management technique does not solve the problem.
• An integrated brush management plan allows for potential ecosystem restoration.
• Mechanical, chemical, biological controls and grazing are some of the tools that can be used a part of an integrated brush management plan.
• It is difficult to develop and implement an effective integrated brush management plant as it requires a broad base of knowledge and experience.Vegetation Types: All Vegetation Types

Keywords: integrated brush management, grazing, fire, herbicides, root plowing, chaining, biological control, targeted grazing
Annotation: This is a good opinion paper presenting the emerging idea of integrating many control methods to control shrubs. There is more current research and scientific syntheses examining the effectiveness on integrated management plans (Lym 1998, Weed Technology 12(2):367-373 included in RSIS database).
