| Abstract
|
:
|
A global phenomenon, the impact of invasive plants on ecosystems affects nearly all land resource managers. Despite management practices being broadly applied, and contemporary research aiding our understanding of the impacts of invasive plants, there remains a disconnect in knowledge between the processes operating within ecosystems, and the common practices used to manage invasive plants and restore ecosystems
|
|
|
:
|
Targeting this knowledge gap, this book illustrates how to apply the principles of ecology toward practices for managing rangelands threatened or infested by invasive plants. Providing strongly developed management guidelines and examples, Invasive Plant Ecology and Management: Linking Processes to Practice examines the key ecosystem processes that are impacted by invasive plants, and how ecologically based principles can be applied to influence these processes and lead to effective land management and restoration
|
|
|
:
|
Exploring these themes, each chapter develops a core set of principles that can be used to influence ecological processes, before going further by illustrating how land managers can manipulate conditions to improve the ecosystems within which they operate. Integrating scientific concepts into management practices, this book should be valuable to researchers, natural resource managers, and education professionals alike. Book jacket
