More accurately, Alberta Parks has chosen to rip out Canada buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis), an extremely necessary summer food of bears, rather than managing tourists in essential bear habitat. š”

š Give it up. Why donāt you just join iNat and check out some of 50-some projects about bamboos created by the professional and amateur botanists/ecologists/taxonomists who participate there.
comment in response to
post
iNaturalist *accommodates* as many Bambusoideae ssp. as its source taxonomies recognize. If you believe bamboos are present and invading through NWT/Yukon/Nunavut/AB/SK/MB/Russia, etc. that have somehow been overlooked by knowledgeable observers, please get on there and straighten out the experts! š
comment in response to
post
Oh, myā¦ but Bambusoideae actually includes all bamboo spp.. Unless youāre proposing a reorganization of the taxonomy? Instead of casting aspersions on the expertise of identifiers at a site youāre not familiar with, anyone looking out for your best interests would advise you to just stop digging. š

More about iNaturalist. It is data of the same kind, once verified by experts, as makes up the documented ranges of species published in various references (e.g. Flora of North America). Very useful for more granular coverage and for documenting the advance of invasive species.

š Sorry but perhaps youāre not familiar with iNaturalist, a ācitizen scienceā project whereby observations worldwide are uploaded and the identities verified by knowledgeable identifiers.

Contrary to the well-meaning but misleading meme, bamboo plantations are not a viable option āeverywhereā. Memes like the subject one often promote some facile but basically misinformed view, often based on a fragment of truth but exaggerated or taken out of context.
comment in response to
post
No, sorry, itās not valid to dismiss observational data because it contradicts your position. Iād venture the area youāre describing is likely in the zone 5-6 range and Phyllostachys spp. were the likely invasives; even those are limited by zoneā¦

See the iNat maps of observations. Iām not sure why this is hard to understand? Simply, we donāt grow bamboo where I live because the hardiest species are not winter-hardy here. Itās for the same reason we donāt grow camellias and redbuds.
comment in response to
post
In areas where bamboos are hardy & have naturalized, many species = invasive, yes. As explained, thatās not āeverywhereā or ācovering most of the planetā. Iād encourage you to look into actual plant observations (cultivated & otherwise) and invasive species lists to better inform your opinion.
comment in response to
post
Again, this is still more exaggeration. Iāve pointed out large areas where Bambusoidea are *not* native and are largely also *not* included on invasive species lists simply because they are not hardy there and are unable to survive outdoorsā¦

comment in response to

Much the same reasons why agriculture in the areas Iām referring is focused on growing short-season annual crops (e.g. cereal grains, mustards, pea-family crops), rather than on tender perennial crops that would require extensive protection to survive zone 1 - 3 winter conditions.
comment in response to
post
If you simply look at the maps, you can see the large areas that represent climatic conditions where it does not occur naturally, and largely where climatic conditions are such that cultivating it on the scale suggested would require massive infrastructureā¦
comment in response to
post
The point is that the observations and the documented range provided for Bambusoidea show that it does not occur āeverywhereā and does not ācover most of the planetāā¦ these are rather gross exaggerationsā¦

Iād be interested in knowing which bamboo species are hardy in zones 1, 2, and 3.
comment in response to
post
I donāt think you understand the climate extremes across North America. Yes, in areas where particular bamboo species are hardy, they are an invasive problem. They are not hardy āeverywhereā.
