Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2003,
the status of many important invasive plants around the world has
changed dramatically. Species have extended their ranges, new
literature has been accumulated, and control methods have been
improved. Research on some plant invaders has also focused on the
species' ecology and impacts, confirming that invasive plants
continue to pose serious threats to species and ecosystems. Given
their range expansions and introduction via international trade,
these problems will only become more serious in the future.
Providing the latest information on the most important invasive
plants, this new edition: - Contains 50 new species, chosen for
their impacts on ecosystems and native species - Reviews the most
significant new publications on ecology and species management -
Updates introduced, invasive and native ranges, providing an
easy-reference, full-colour map for each species - Provides new and
improved control methods Including colour images of each species,
this up-to-date reference guide on the most important plant
invaders is an invaluable tool for both researchers and policy
makers.
The rapid growth of organic farming has been amongst the most
remarkable changes in global agriculture in recent decades.
Initially, more attention was paid to the crop side of organic
systems, but that has now changed and there is greater recognition
of the need to understand animal health and welfare better.This
book will further the understanding of organic animal husbandry,
demonstrating practical solutions and innovative methods, and
drawing mainly on research and practical experience with organic
farming in Europe.
