"… an up-to-date review of the ecology of invasive plant species. … a must read for biologists and land managers interested in invasive plants. Highly recommended."-R.B. Pratt, CHOICE, August 2013"This collection contains case studies from around the world, giving readers a real view of the extent of the invasive species issue along with real-world strategies. With its focus on the ecological aspects of plant invasion, this book provides an important reference for students, scientists, professionals, and policy makers who are involved in the study and management of alien invasive plants and ecosystems."-Southeastern Naturalist, Issue 12/2, 2013"… an excellent collection of thought-provoking essays by an international group of scientists, researchers, and academicians discussing the challenges of invasive plants from an ecological perspective but with multidisciplinary approaches. The book will be valued for its comprehensive coverage of both basic and applied models involving invasion, establishment, and competition generated by invasive species in vulnerable ecosystems and ecozones. … recommended for students at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, and for researchers and academics in the fields of life sciences, plant sciences, botany, biology, plant ecology, environmental science, agriculture, forestry sciences, applied botany, and applied ecology."-S. K. Basu, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, in PLANT SCIENCE BULLETIN 59(3) 2013.
