The Eco-Physiological and Genetic Basis of Invasiveness

Show other versions (2)

The invasion of ecosystems by alien species is a key driver of global environmental change and many invasive plant species attain sufficiently high abundance to alter the structure and function of an ecosystem. This book is the first publication to explain the reasons as to why some alien species un...
