The risks of resistance evolving to glyphosate in Australian non-agricultural weed management systems.
Storrie, A.; Cameron, J.; Congreve, M.; 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 229-232, 7 ref. Glyphosate is the world's most widely used herbicide with global sales exceeding $50 billion in 2009. Western agricultural systems have become reliant on glyphosate as it has enabled the widespread adoption of reduced or no-tillage farming systems. The de...

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...

The economic cost of invasive non-native species on Great Britain.
Williams, F.; Eschen, R.; Harris, A.; Djeddour, D.; Pratt, C.; Shaw, R. S.; Varia, S.; Lamontagne-Godwin, J.; Thomas, S. E.; Murphy, S. T.; CABI, Wallingford, UK, The economic cost of invasive non-native species on Great Britain, 2010, pp 199 pp., 14 ref. The impact of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) can be manifold, ranging from loss of crops, damaged buildings, and additional production costs to the loss of livelihoods and ecosystem services. INNS are increasingly abundant in Great Britain and in Euro...

A strategy for the management of abandoned mountain pasture land colonised by dwarf pine.
Cavalli, R.; Pellegrini, M.; Grigolato, S.; Bietresato, M.; Accademia Italiana di Scienze Forestali, Florence, Italy, Italia Forestale e Montana, 2011, 66, 5, pp 383-393, 23 ref. The uncontrolled spread of naturally forested areas might in itself represent a problem. Such extensions often imply a loss of cultural landscapes and habitat variety, the depletion of bio- and ecodiversity, and territorial homogenisation accompanied by t...

Control of invasive species: lessons from miconia in Hawaii.
Kaiser, B.; Burnett, K.; Roumasset, J.; 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 663-666, 9 ref. Invasive plants have the potential to change ecosystems and the services they provide, causing direct and indirect economic damages. Optimal policy weighs the cost of any removal or prevention action against the damages of inaction, and will minimise the ...

A bioeconomic framework for assessing the impacts of weeds in Queensland.
Tumaneng-Diete, T.; Binney, J.; Bryant, M.; Maher, P.; 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 667-670, 6 ref. Although it is widely accepted that weeds have economic, environmental and social impacts, most economic studies undertaken on weeds have been limited to ex post evaluation of weed management programs. Very few studies have explored the integration of eco...
