Description
Summary:We live in a globalised world in which people and goods are transported across ecosystem boundaries in greater volumes and faster than ever before. One consequence of globalisation has been the introduction, establishment, and spread of many thousands of species beyond the ecosystems in which they evolved. Many of these species cause harm, and are referred to as invasive. This book brings together experts from many disciplines to present multi-disciplinary perspectives on the impacts of invasive species, and how policy can be created and enacted to reduce those impacts.
