Biological Invasions and Its Management in China: Volume 1 (Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology, 11)

The Book Discusses Invasive-species Problems In Agriculture, Forests And Aquatic Ecosystems, Highlighting The Invasive Mechanisms And Management Of The Selected Invasive Species. Biological Invasion Has Become A Serious Global Ecological And Economic Problem That Deserves Particular Attention From Both Government Officials And Scientists. This Volume Focuses On Three Key Scientific Areas: 1) Population Establishment And Spreading Mechanisms Of The Selected Invasive Species; 2) Ecology Adaptation, Population Growth, Expansion And Evolution Of Invasive Species; And 3) Impact Of Bio-invasion On The Ecosystem Structure And Function At Community And Ecosystem Levels. The Presented Research Will Result In Techniques For Better Management Of Invasive Species. .
