Overview

This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.

Reviews

This book will be a go-to reference on invasive species. I imagine keeping it within sight on my bookshelf and re-reading descriptions ... . The book will likely be useful for biologists studying invasive species, land managers, conservation practitioners, and graduate students. ... Overall, this is an impressive synthesis. ... This book helps shed light on what we know and what we need to do about this troubling aspect of global change. (R. Travis Belote, Biological Invasions, Vol. 23, 2021)
