Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Invasion of alien species by recognized as one of the most serious threats to the preservation of natural biodiversity. Invasive plants displace native species from natural phytocenoses, causing serious damage to the environment, the economy, and even human health. The problem of biological invasions is in the spotlight of the general public. Particularly significant negative impacts have been caused when invasive species have invaded into forest plant communities, reducing their economic and recreational value and preventing the natural regeneration of the concerned stands.
We invite you and your colleagues to publish your reviews and articles in this Special Issue, entitled “Research, Assessment, and Management of Invasive Plant Species”, and contribute to the expansion of scientific knowledge on plant invasions. This will help to develop science-based, effective measures to combat aggressive invaders.
