Invasion of non-native plant species,
which has a significant impact on the earth’s ecosystems, has greatly increased in recent years due to expanding
trade and transport among different countries. Understanding the ecological principles underlying the invasive process
as well as the characteristics of the invasive plants is crucial for making good management decisions to address this
problem. Invasive Plant Ecology includes chapters derived from presentations at conferences such as the World Congress
of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO), as well as contributions from invited renowned
authors. The chapters include both original research and syntheses of current knowledge on specific topics.
Actions
essential for coordinated approaches to curtail plant invasion include increasing awareness of the ecological impacts of
alien plants and employing novel control strategies. This book provides a foundation in invasion ecology by examining
ecological theories and case studies that explain plant invasions, their impacts, management strategies, and the
ecological economics. The chapters describe ecological characteristics, mutualistic associations, microbial communities,
and disturbance regimes that affect the spread of invasive plants. The book also covers spatial analysis and predictive
modeling of invasive plants.
The final chapters offer guidelines for ecological management and restoration of
invaded areas and describe the economics of the invasive plant issue. This collection contains case studies from around
the world, giving readers a real view of the extent of the invasive species issue along with real-world strategies. With
its focus on the ecological aspects of plant invasion, this book provides an important reference for students,
scientists, professionals, and policy makers who are involved in the study and management of alien invasive plants and
ecosystems.
