Cubre una amplia gama de temas, incluida la historia, el desarrollo y la implementación de políticas, el estado de las invasiones de animales y plantas en ambientes terrestres, marinos y de agua dulce, el desarrollo de una teoría ecológica sólida en torno a las invasiones biológicas, la efectividad de las intervenciones de manejo y escenarios para el futuro. La situación de Sudáfrica destaca por la notable diversidad del país y la amplia gama de problemas encontrados en sus variados ecosistemas, lo que ha resultado en una inversión desproporcionada tanto en investigación como en gestión. La experiencia sudafricana contiene muchas lecciones para otras partes del mundo, y este libro debería ser de inmenso valor para investigadores, estudiantes, administradores y formuladores de políticas que se ocupan de las invasiones biológicas y el manejo y conservación de los ecosistemas en la mayoría de las otras regiones.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This open access volume presents a comprehensive account of all aspects of biological invasions in South Africa, where research has been conducted over more than three decades, and where bold initiatives have been implemented in attempts to control invasions and to reduce their ecological, economic and social effects. It covers a broad range of themes, including history, policy development and implementation, the status of invasions of animals and plants in terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, the development of a robust ecological theory around biological invasions, the effectiveness of management interventions, and scenarios for the future. The South African situation stands out because of the remarkable diversity of the country, and the wide range of problems encountered in its varied ecosystems, which has resulted in a disproportionate investment into both research and management. The South African experience holds many lessons for other parts of the world, and this book should be of immense value to researchers, students, managers, and policy-makers who deal with biological invasions and ecosystem management and conservation in most other regions.
