Ecology and Management of Invasive Riverside Plants

This study reviews and updates the biology and ecology of invasive riparian and aquatic plants. It is based on papers presented at a workshop initiated by the International Centre for Landscape Ecology, in response to growing concern about the problems of introduced plants invading river corridors.

This study reviews and updates the biology and ecology of invasive riparian and aquatic plants. It is based on papers presented at a workshop initiated by the International Centre for Landscape Ecology, in response to growing concern about the problems of introduced plants invading river corridors and other habitats. State-of-the-art techniques are discussed, ranging from grazing through chemical control to biological control. The latest scientific theories on plant invasions are presented, along with several practical case studies. The contributors examine effective control measures which are acceptable in sensitive habitats such as rivers and their banks.
