Ecology and Control of Introduced Plants

This book focuses on introduced plant species: where they come from, their impacts on native vegetation and ecosystems and the potential for their control. Invasive plants are a cause of increasing concern, and a lot of effort has been put into removing and controlling unwanted organisms. Aimed at advanced students and land managers, with an interest in plant invaders, plant communities, and biodiversity, it contains practical explanations, case studies and an introduction to basic techniques for evaluating the impacts of invasive plants.
