Finally, a field guide to invasive plants!
Invasive Plants
Guide to Identification and the Impacts and Control of Common North
American Species
By Sylvan Kaufman and Wallace Kaufman
This easy-to-use, wide ranging guide to invasive plants in North America
features full-color photos and descriptions of more than 175 alien species.
Introductory chapters give readers the big picture that creates a frame for
thinking about particular regions, localities and species. Text for each
species describes the plant’s environmental and economic impacts as well as
management techniques used to control it. Some of these aquatic and
terrestrial plants change the landscape in almost unimaginable ways. All
have interesting stories associated with their arrival and impacts on the
environment.
This is an essential guide for understanding this growing environmental
challenge. Whether you just want to know what invasive plants are and
which ones are a problem in your region or whether you need to identify and
control particular plants, this guide has the answers. It is a wonderful
resource for gardeners, landscapers, land managers, naturalists, outdoor
enthusiasts, botanists and ecologists.
Sylvan Kaufman is the conservation curator at Adkins Arboretum in Ridgely,
MD and holds a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from Rutgers University.
Wallace Kaufman is a science writer and author of several popular nature
books, including Coming Out of the Woods, No Turning Back, and The Beaches
are Moving. More information on invasive plants and the authors can be
found online at www.invasiveplantguide.com. To order books from Stackpole,
