The chapters are grouped into four sections. The first section examines invasion ecology through both synthesis and original research articles. Seven chapters are included in this section. The second section also has seven chapters. These give readers a flavor of the ecological impacts of alien invaders and include examples from both tropical and temperate regions of the world. The third section is an exploration into the adaptive collaborative management strategies that are central to successful control of invasive alien plants. The first chapter in this section describes the concept of adaptive collaborative restoration in great detail. The second chapter discusses the ecology and management of the world’s number one invasive plant species of natural ecosystems. The remaining three chapters of the section give specific examples of invasive plant management, one each from a local, state, and country perspective. The fourth (last) section includes two chapters that discuss the socioeconomic and policy aspects of invasive species management using two examples, one from the tropics (Namibia) and another from the temperate region (the United States).
