出于许多原因，入侵物种引起了人们的关注，包括对特定国家特定管辖区的经济和环境影响。然而，很明显，对于一些入侵植物物种来说，政治边界只提供了微弱的障碍，因为这些物种已经成功入侵了许多国家，在全球范围内成为威胁。在这种程度的威胁下，近年来出版了一些关于入侵植物和一般入侵物种的书籍，但没有一本明确提供“全球”覆盖范围，也许是因为直到最近才认识到这些特定入侵植物的广泛传播和适应性对地理、经济和环境的全面影响。
Global Plant Invasions
Invasive species have inspired concern for many reasons, including economic and environmental impacts in specific jurisdictions within particular countries. However, it is apparent that for some invasive plant species, political borders offer only weak barriers because these species have succeeded in invading many countries, emerging as threats at a global level. With this level of threat, a number of books on invasive plants and invasive species in general have been published in recent years, but none explicitly provides “global” coverage, perhaps because it is only recently that the full geographical, economic and environmental implications of widespread spread and adaptive nature of these particular invasive plants have been recognized.
