This open access volume presents a comprehensive account of all
aspects of biological invasions in South Africa, where research has
been conducted over more than three decades, and where bold
initiatives have been implemented in attempts to control invasions
and to reduce their ecological, economic and social effects. It
covers a broad range of themes, including history, policy
development and implementation, the status of invasions of animals
and plants in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, the
development of a robust ecological theory around biological
invasions, the effectiveness of management interventions, and
scenarios for the future. The South African situation stands out
because of the remarkable diversity of the country, and the wide
range of problems encountered in its varied ecosystems, which has
resulted in a disproportionate investment into both research and
management. The South African experience holds many lessons for
other parts of the world, and this book should be of immense value
to researchers, students, managers, and policy-makers who deal with
biological invasions and ecosystem management and conservation in
most other regions.
