Ecologists, land managers and policymakers continue to search for
the most effective ways to manage biological invasions. An emerging
lesson is that proactive management can limit negative impacts,
reduce risks and save money. This book explores how to detect and
respond to alien plant incursions, summarising the most current
literature, providing practical recommendations and reviewing the
conditions and processes necessary to achieve prevention,
eradication and containment. Chapter topics include assessing
invasiveness and the impact of alien plants, how to improve
surveillance efforts, how to make timely management decisions, and
how legislation and strategic planning can support management. Each
chapter includes text boxes written by international experts that
discuss topical issues such as spatial predictive modelling,
costing invasions, biosecurity, biofuels, and dealing with conflict
species.
