This site provides a compiled national list of invasive plants infesting natural areas throughout the USA, background information on the problem of invasive species, illustrated fact sheets that include plant descriptions, native range, distribution and habitat in the USA, management options, suggested alternative native plants, and other information, and selected links to relevant people and organizations.
Provides information for the general public, land managers, researchers, and others on the serious threat and impacts of invasive alien (exotic, non-native) plants to the native flora, fauna, and natural ecosystems of the United States. This site provides a compiled national list of invasive plants infesting natural areas throughout the U.S., background information on the problem of invasive species, illustrated fact sheets that include plant descriptions, native range, distribution and habitat in the U.S., management options, suggested alternative native plants, and other information, and selected links to relevant people and organizations.
The Alien Plant Working Group of the Plant Conservation Alliance, located in Washington, D.C., offers fact sheets about the impact and threat of herbs that are alien plants to the natural ecosystems of the United States. The fact sheets include a description of the native range, habitat, and ecological threat of alien herbs, as well as a discussion of their distribution and management approaches in the United States.

Invasive alien species are a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystems throughout the world. In India, a country with four of the world's most important 'biodiversity hotspots', the invasion of alien plants means risking a national ecological disaster with major social and economic consequences. Currently, there is insufficient information about invasive alien plants; their distribution, rate of spread and adaptability to new environments. This book reveals existing and potential invaders, evaluates the level of risk they pose to native species and suggests steps to manage spread and limit damage. Invaluable to policy-makers, this book is also required reading for researchers of invasive plants worldwide.
