A native at home and abroad: the history, politics, ethics and aesthetics of acacias (2011, background): “The levels of damage, in the form of lost ecosystem services and biodiversity, probably already far exceed the value of the wattle industry (De Wit et al., 2001; De Lange & Van Wilgen, 2010).”
A new national unit for invasive species detection, assessment and eradication planning (2013, methodology): “The failure to eradicate anything more than a few individuals in continental South Africa is, we argue, because (1) new invaders are usually of relatively minor concern at a local scale and just one of many potential targets for resources, (2) invasions often cross administrative boundaries so natio”
