"Great resource for invasive plant management" according to RSL. This is a very good compendium for anyone looking to expand his or her knowledge about invasive species management. There are a lot of resources that provide general information, but I found this collection to be incredibly helpful for understanding the specific ecological factors that contribute to invasions, the mechanisms for such invasions and the assessment of various control measures. Invasive species management is an evolving topic, and I've found this book to be a very, very valuable resource. The scientific articles are research-oriented and require careful reading with ample caffeine for a lay-person (like me), but they are packe
The book targets key processes that can be managed, the impact of invasive plants on these ecosystem processes and illustrates how adopting ecologically based principles can influence the ecosystem and lead to effective land management.. Bringing together ecology and management of invasive plants within natural and agricultural ecosystems, this book bridges the knowledge gap between the processes operating within ecosystems and the practices used to prevent, contain, control and eradicate invasive plant species
