Summary Coreopsis lanceolata was added to List of Regulated Living Organisms under the Invasive Alien Species Act in February, 2006. This study is aimed for developing management techniques of that invasive alien species. This report describes a vegetation management experiment of C. lanceolata . We have been experimenting with three different exterminating methods;1) selective removal of invasive plants, 2) mowing and 3)removing topsoil.
