  • Description: Revised, expanded, and updated, this second edition of a successful reference discusses how non-native species invade new ecosystems and the subsequent economic and environmental effects of these invaders. With nine new chapters, this text provides detailed information on the major components of the invasive-species problem from six continents, including impacts on human health and livestock. The book examines ways in which non-native species destroy vital crops and forests; damage ecosystem dynamics, leading to losses in plant and animal biodiversity; and cause soil erosion and water loss.
