Suppressing Over-Abundant Invasive Plants and Insects in Natural Areas by Use of Their Specialized Natural Enemies
Editat de Roy Van Driesche, Richard C. Reardon, Forest Service (U.S.)en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2017 – vârsta până la 95 ani
Biological
control
has
long
been
used
against
invasive
plants
and,
less
often,
invasive
insects,
in
forests,
aquatic
systems,
grasslands,
coastal
areas,
riparian
areas,
islands,
and
other
biomes
or
habitats
of
conservation
concern.
Historically,
motivation
for
such
efforts
has
shifted
gradually
away
from
economic
interests
toward
ecological
protection
for
its
own
sake.
Future
projects
of
this
type
will
require
better
integration
of
biological
control
into
conservation
practice,
a
better
understanding
by
societies
of
the
reasons
for
such
work
and
its
possible
risks
and
benefits,
as
well
as
continued,
consistent
public
funding.
Examples
of
successful
projects
in
high-value
conservation
areas
(Everglades,
Galápagos,
oceanic
islands,
wetlands,
forests)
are
discussed,
and
future
challenges
and
caveats
mentioned.
