Intro Topic · Purple loosestrife

Aggressive, invasive plant

Negative Impact · Disastrous for native vegetation and animals

Up to 50 percent of wetland biomass displaced; degradation of breeding habitats

Spread · Disturbed habitats most at risk

Purple loosestrife is spreading!

Some success in slowing purple loosestrife. Note to self for next paragraph: Consequence: Need solution: Current solution (early detection and local eradication) seems insufficient for author?

Other People's Position · War on purple loosestrife is to protect nature

I think the author's setting up this argument to take it down. This is more or less a summary of Passage A's position.

Author's View · The war on purple loosestrife is about controlling nature

What's actually being threatened? Not much it seems. So the author argues that the war on purple loosestrife is about controlling nature.

Author's View · Economics is the real motivation for the war on purple loosestrife

Because purple loosestrife threatens revenues that depend on wetland resource like hunting, trapping, and recreation.
