Plant Invasions. Human perception, ecological impacts and management. 2008. XVIII, 428 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.

This volume aims to contribute to the understanding of plant invasions, exploring human perceptions of plant invasions and the role of humans in the invasion process from differentperspectives and geographical areas. It also covers case studies of the biology and ecology of invasive species, mechanisms of invasion and ecological impacts, while offering solutions through a variety of control and management techniques. The terminology associated with plant invasions is diverse and sometimes confusing. As in the previous volumes, the authors have attempted to standardize terminology used in this bookby following suggestions by Richardson et al. (2000) andPysek et al. (2004).
