Invasive plants, which are plants that are introduced into a new environment and cause negative effects on the local habitat, pose a serious threat to environmental and ecological conservation. This book contains three chapters that discuss the problem of invasive plants and propose solutions for their management and control. Chapter One concerns the use of invasive plants as raw materials for the environmentally friendly development of paper and packaging products. Chapter Two details the results of a study that suggests that the invasive plant Parthenium hysterophorus can be controlled by the maintenance of effective suppressive plant communities. Chapter Three presents the results of a study concerning the spread of Parthenium hysterophorus within and around Arusha National Park in Tanzania.
