Names of organisms must be listed first by their common name with scientific names in parentheses. Subsequent references can be by common name. Names and application rates of pesticides initial reference should be to their active ingredients (e.g., in Herbicide Handbook, Weed Science Society of America). Trade names can be used subsequently. Rates and units of measurement should be clear. Capitalize only the first letter of the title and proper nouns. Numbers and units should be consistent. Use either Imperial or metric units, but do not mix them. Content requirements: Explain how your management experience or research results may be used by land managers. Clearly define goals and rationale. Describe all relevant treatment specifics (for instance, application rate of an herbicide). Clearly identify relevant invasive plant names, techniques, herbicides, mapping methods, or other specifics (where applicable). Do not promote commercial products or services. OK Question Title * 4.

Focal species covered in this presentation (if applicable) OK Question Title * 7. Training Credits: Some Symposium presentations may qualify for continuing education credit that helps professionals in the field maintain their licenses. To qualify, presentations need to focus on, or include content on, controlling invasive plants. The licensing agency determines which presentations qualify based on their abstracts. (It also helps if the presentation’s title reflects this content.) Select the appropriate choice below: My presentation focuses on invasive plant control and that is clear from my abstract My presentation does not focus on invasive plant control but does contain content on it, and that is clear from my abstract My presentation does not contain content on invasive plant control. OK Question Title * 8. Connection to Theme: We encourage all presenters to find ways to explicitly connect their presentation to the Symposium theme of “Expanding Community to Protect Biodiversity.” This could take many forms, including: community engagement in a project; broad partnerships; recognition of indigenous lands and management practices; impacts to native plants and wildlife; and more. Select the appropriate choice below: My presentation will explicitly connect to both community and biodiversity aspects of the theme. My presentation will explicitly connect with only the community aspect of the theme. My presentation will explicitly connect with only the biodiversity aspect of the theme. My presentation will not explicitly connect with either aspect of the theme. OK Question Title * 9. Desired format of presentation:Please use the ranking scores to indicate your preferred format.
