Addresses One of the Supreme Threats to Biodiversity
As the worldwide human population explodes and trade becomes
increasingly globalized, the transboundary movement of plant
species from their place of origin to foreign regions is escalating
and expected to experience continued growth in the coming decades.
Invasive Plants and Forest Ecosystems takes an informed and
integrated approach to the current onslaught of invasive species,
spotlighting the tremendous challenges they pose for natural
resource managers charged with the maintenance of biological
diversity and the sustainable production of forest wealth. It
addresses the havoc these alien invaders are wrecking on native
forest ecosystems and the staggering $300 billion annually in
damage and control costs they incur.
An Up-to-Date Synthesis of Invasive Plants, Their Impact, and
Control Strategies
Examining invasion ecology through both synthesis and original
research chapters, this compilation gives a bird's eye view of the
ecological impact alien invaders have both in temperate and
tropical climates. With internationally recognized contributors,
this text explores the socioeconomic and policy aspects of adaptive
collaborative management strategies that are crucial to controlling
alien invasive plants. This book successfully captures the current
state of knowledge surrounding this fast-growing ecological issue,
making it an indispensable resource for those committed to the
protection of global forestry and natural resources.
