What are the ecological attributes of weeds that confer the ability
to interfere with human activities? Roger Cousens and Martin
Mortimer place weed management within an ecological context, with
the focus on the manipulation of population size. The dynamics of
abundance and spatial distribution are considered at both
geographic and local scales. The basic processes of dispersal,
reproduction and mortality are described, together with the factors
that influence them. Management is shown to modify patterns of
behaviour that are intrinsic to populations. Attention is given to
the evolution and management of resistance to herbicides. This book
provides weed science with the conceptual basis that has previously
been lacking. It also gives ecologists access to the extensive
database on the population ecology of weeds.
