invasives generally, not just alien invasives. I'm trying to locate
something that teases out the economic impact of the alien portion of
invasives. I would then like to find out a bit more about feasible
control programs. I would probably be happiest with one good economic
analysis of an effort to control ONE alien invasive species (or ecological complex),
especially one that did NOT have a strong adverse effect on agriculture.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
