Economic tools ≠ Policy actions. Why benefit cost analyses are not a policy panacea for weedy but commercially valuable plant species.
Johnson, S. B.; Weed Science Society of Victoria Inc., Frankston, Australia, Developing solutions to evolving weed problems. 18th Australasian Weeds Conference, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 8-11 October 2012, 2012, pp 195-198, 29 ref. Both governments and industry have highlighted the need to accurately identify and prioritise the positive and negative impacts of plants that are both weedy and commercially valuable. The introduction and subsequent naturalisation of such species results...

Guidance on the environmental risk assessment of plant pests.
European Food Safety Authority, Parma, Italy, EFSA Journal, 2011, 9, 12, pp 2460, many ref. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) requested the Panel on Plant Health to develop a methodology for assessing the environmental risks posed by harmful organisms that may enter, establish and spread in the European Union. To do so, the Panel first r...

How will weed management change under climate change? Some perspectives.
Chandrasena, N.; West Bengal Weed Science Society, West Bengal, India, Journal of Crop and Weed, 2009, 5, 2, pp 95-105, 31 ref. Higher atmospheric CO2 is predicted to stimulate the yields of most of the world's major crops, which are C3 plants. Given that many of the most troublesome agricultural weeds are C4 plants, will the competitive ability of these weeds be reduced relative ...

'Green bulldozers' and 'flammable triffids': responding to the threats posed by invasive grasses in tropical northern Australia.
Ferdinands, K.; Setterfield, S.; Queensland Weed Society, Queensland, Australia, Proceedings of the 16th Australian Weeds Conference, Cairns Convention Centre, North Queensland, Australia, 18-22 May, 2008, 2008, pp 407 Invasive grasses have long been recognized as a major threat to a range of natural resource management goals and dominate environmental weed lists in Australia. Despite this recognition invasive grasses are typically under-represented in declared weed lis...

'Weeding' out high weed risk species from pasture breeding programs: introducing an environmental weed risk management process into the CRC for Plant-Based Management of Dryland Salinity.
Stone, L.; Weed Management Society of South Australia, Victoria, Australia, 15th Australian Weeds Conference, Papers and Proceedings, Adelaide, South Australia, 24-28 September 2006: Managing weeds in a changing climate, 2006, pp 691-694, 9 ref. Historically, pasture breeders have not considered environmental weed risk in species selection and assessment. Consequently several pasture or former pasture species are now problematic environmental weeds in Australia. The CRC for Plant-Based Management...

A weed risk management system for the Northern Territory.
Setterfield, S.; Beilby, A.; Douglas, M.; Clarkson, J.; Barratt, J.; Ferdinands, K.; Grace, B.; Wirf, L.; Weed Management Society of South Australia, Victoria, Australia, 15th Australian Weeds Conference, Papers and Proceedings, Adelaide, South Australia, 24-28 September 2006: Managing weeds in a changing climate, 2006, pp 699-702, 17 ref. A weed risk management (WRM) process is recognised internationally as a useful tool to assist land managers to address the often controversial issue of exotic plant management. A WRM process is currently being developed for use in the Northern Territory (...
