Control of exotic invasive species is only a part of this process and must be done gradually, particularly in areas with high densities on exotic invasive plants. Areas where invasive species are managed need to be seeded with native grasses and wildflowers. Tree seedling planting and/or seed bank enrichment are crucial to restore the native plant community, especially in areas with very little growth of native vegetation. Johnsongrass is easily identified by its wide leaf blade with white stripe down the center. It is hard to control in open grasslands due to its long term seed viability and extensive root system. However, because it is a species that does not tolerate shade, once trees and shrubs outgrow it, it will not be a dominant species in
