摘　　要：“Mammoth” plan to control a coastal invader would benefit migratory birds.治理沿海入侵植物的宏伟计划将使候鸟受益。中国的海岸线被一个绿色的入侵物种占据。这种光滑的米草属植物叫作“互花米草”,生在潮间滩涂带,长得又高又密,侵占了濒危候鸟的栖息地,堵塞了航运通道,破坏了蛤蜊养殖场。Along its coastline,China has been taken over by a green invader.Smooth cordgrass(Spartina alterniflora)grows tall and thick across tidal mudflats,depriving endangered migratory birds of habitat,clogging shipping channels,and ruining clam farms.Now,China aims to beat back 90%of the weed by 2025."This is a mammoth undertaking,"says Steven Pennings,a coastal ecologist at the University of Houston."It's audacious."
