This book is the first comprehensive global review of all
aspects of alien plant invasions in protected areas. It provides
insights into advances in invasion ecology emanating from work in
protected areas, and the link to locally relevant management
support for protected areas. The book provides in-depth case
studies, illuminating interesting and insightful knowledge that can
be shared across the global protected area network. The book
includes the collective understanding of 80 ecologists and managers
to extract as much information as possible that will support the
long-term management of protected areas, and the biodiversity and
associated ecosystem services they maintain.
" This outstanding volume draws together pretty much all that
can be said on this topic, ranging from the science, through
policy, to practical action ." Dr. Simon N. Stuart, IUCN Species
Survival Commission, UK.
""This important and timely volume addresses two of the most
serious problems affecting biodiversity conservation today:
assessing the extent to which protected areas are impacted by
biological invasions and the complex problems of managing these
impacts. Written by leading specialists, it provides a
comprehensive overview of the issues and gives detailed examples
drawn from protected areas across the world."" Professor Vernon H.
Heywood, School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading,
