Invasive Plants: Ecological and Agricultural Aspects

Invasive plants have an impact on global biodiversity and
ecosystem function, and their management is a complex task.
The aim of this book is to discuss fundamental questions of
invasion ecology, such as why particular communities become more
invasible than others, what the mechanisms of exclusion of native
species by invaders are, and whether invasion can be predicted.
In addition, agricultural practices influencing invasion, the
environmental and economic costs of invasion as well as possible
management strategies are discussed.
Readers will get a unique perspective on invasion ecology through
employing general principles of ecology to plant invasions.
