New Resource on Invasive Species
Eastern hemlock, American chestnut, sassafras, redbay, every member of the ash family, and many others are plagued by non-native invasive species. A new book synthesizes current science on species invading U.S. forests, grasslands, and waterways. The book was published by Springer, and the entire book is available to download. The book covers invasive species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms.
