The breadth of the management approach and the numerous case studies will also be of interest and an information source for a wider public audience. The focus is on invasive species affecting biodiversity, but many examples are drawn from traditional sectors such as agriculture and forestry, reflecting the diverse problems caused by invasive alien species. The many case studies span the globe, although islands are particularly stressed because they are especially vulnerable to the impact of alien species."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0612/2001043255-t.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0612/2001043255-d.html ER -
