Ecology is central to our understanding of how and why weeds invade and yet there are few books that link introductory weed science texts with more advanced ecology books. This textbook introduces ecological principles to students interested in weed science and weed management. It includes examples from the weed and invasive species literature to illustrate the ecological principles discussed. It is suitable reading for final year undergraduates and graduates.

Key Features:
  • Links ecological theory to our understanding of natural and agricultural weeds - provides a bridge between basic and applied ecology
  • Provides examples of natural, managed and agricultural weeds from around the world
  • Designed as a learner-centred text
