Exotic Plant Species as Problems and Solutions in Ecological Restoration: A Synthesis

Authors:
D’Antonio, C. and L.A. Meyerson

Publication Date:
2002

Abstract/Summary:
We review the types of effects exotic species may have that are important during restoration and suggest research that could increase our ability to set realistic management goals. Their control and use may be controversial; therefore we advocate consideration of exotic species in the greater context of community structure and succession and emphasize areas where ecological research could bring insight to management dilemmas surrounding exotic species and restoration.
