Newly updated: “Invasive plants are ecological tumors that degrade food webs wherever they go. The third edition of [this book] is an invaluable reference.” —Douglas Tallamy, New York Times–bestselling author of Nature’s Best Hope
 
This easy-to-use, wide-ranging guide to invasive plants in North America features full-color photos and descriptions of more than 250 alien species—both terrestrial and aquatic—that are in some cases changing the landscape to an almost unimaginable degree. Accompanying text describes the plant’s environmental and economic impacts as well as management techniques used to control it. Also included is an explanation of what an invasive is and a step-by-step identification key. Used by U.S. Forest Service botanists, this is an essential guide to understanding this unprecedented environmental challenge that is threatening biodiversity—and the human population that depends on it to survive.
