Wetland Weeds, Paperback / softback Book

Wetland Weeds Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This comprehensive guide to wetland weeds covers both native and introduced species, ranging from minor or localised environmental problems to those that should not be tolerated in any situation.

The author takes a pragmatic approach to weed control, recognising that some weeds may not be possible to eradicate, and emphasising the need to assess the extent and future potential of any infestation before taking action. Weed control should be planned in the context of the overall management goals for any type of wetland, the types of habitat weeds provide or overrun, and whether they can be replaced successfully with more appropriate plants.

A range of strategies for controlling wetland weeds are considered. More than 130 species of established weeds are included with information on their origins, nutrient responses, environmental effects, habitat values, prospects for containment or eradication, and even culinary uses.

Other sections look at native plants as weeds, including a number of species of uncertain origins, and potential weeds still being legally sold.
