About this book

This is the classic reference on weeds and invasive plants, revised and updated (previously published under the title "Weed Ecology").

Media reviews

Overall, the changes make the third edition a worthwhile purchase even for those who already own the second... If one is looking for a book that covers the basics of weed science from a traditional perspective this is a fine selection: well-written and remarkably concise for a complicated topic. (Economic Botany, 2010)
