effective structural parasites in forest communities (Forseth, 2004). The economic impact of kudzu in the United States is estimated at $100–500 million lost per year in forest productivity. In addition, it takes about $5,000 per hectare (2.5 acres) per year to control kudzu. For power companies, it costs about $1.5 million per year to repair damage to power lines. Kudzu management is also of great concern in the management of national…

According to Nichols et al. (2006), the earliest recorded monoculture dated back to 1368, in which several 100 acres of the Lorenzer Forest near Nuremberg was sown with Pinus sylvestris to produce industrial timber.
