6 Challenges of the Urban Environment
• Distinct soils
• Altered hydrology, impervious surfaces
• Heat islands
• Disturbance regime, perpetual disequilibrium
• Loss of pollinators and seed dispersers
• Habitat fragmentation

Asian bush honeysuckle links to ROW elements
• Economics – negatively affected property values and economic investment; properties near Fall Creek were not benefiting from their location near this potential asset
• Education – local neighborhood citizens were under-aware of the issues surrounding invasives and did not know how the control invasives
• Well-being – caused safety concern due to overgrowth of shrubs that retain their leaves through a long growing season, provide potential cover for miscreants

Asian bush honeysuckle links to ROW elements
• Aesthetics- decreased natural beauty due to monoculture and blocking natural view to waterway, view-shed (opinion based- some people liked how honeysuckle looked and were upset by it being removed, assuming any green vegetation in the city was a good thing)
• Connectivity – physically blocked people’s ability to see and access the waterway and therefore the connection of the Fall Creek neighborhood to the waterway system of the city
• Ecology- impacted ecological form and function by reducing understory diversity, out-competing native herbaceous plants, shrubs seedlings and tree saplings, while reducing overstoryproductivity

Outputs of 2012 LDOS
• Over 2,000 volunteers removed over 760 m3
of Amur honeysuckle from 30 acres of land along Fall Creek
• Twelve partner organizations included private donors, corporate, city of Indianapolis, non-profit, and universities contributed over 1.1 million dollars in cash and services

In urban settings, invasives, especially woody shrubs escaped from
cultivation
• have negative impacts on cultural ecosystem services that may be greater than their ecological impacts in cities’ highly disturbed ecosystems

In the UK:
Japanese knotweed is not a health hazard but can cause extreme stress and anxiety if people are unable to secure mortgage and/or buy sell properties due to its presence. • It can cause a lot of arguments and disagreements between neighbours and land owners that may result in legal action.
