Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “A recent study estimated that at least 20 million AUD is spent each year in Australia on programs to manage weeds invading natural ecosystems (Sinden et al., 2005).”
Seed germination of agricultural weeds is promoted by the butenolide 3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one under laboratory and field conditions (2007, background): “8 billion for acidity, sodicity and soil salinity combined (Sinden et al. 2004).”
The economic cost of managing invasive species in Australia (2016, methodology): “Expenditure by federal and state-level agencies were sourced from Sinden et al. (2004) for 01–02 and Gong et al. (2009) for 11–12, although the data from Gong et al. (2009) was for 07–08.”
Secondary invasion: The bane of weed management (2016, background): “A substantial portion of these costs arises from management efforts directed at suppressing invader abundance (Binns et al., 2001; Pimentel et al., 2005; Sinden et al., 2005).”
The Economics of Terrestrial Invasive Species: A Review of the Literature (2006, background): “Singleton (2003) estimates that rodents in Asia cause losses to rice production of 5-10 percent per annum, enough food to feed 180 million people annually, while Pimentel et al.”
Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, unknown): “(73) estimated that weeds alone cost AUS$3.”
The economic impacts of vertebrate pests in Australia (2009, methodology): “The DREAM model was applied to measure weed losses to the Australian winter cropping region (Jones et al 2000, Sinden et al 2004) and has been used to measure the potential return from investment in a proposed Invasive Plants Cooperative Research Centre (Jones et al 2006).”
Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “…billion in India, $34 billion in the United States, $17 billion in Brazil, $1.4 billion in the United Kingdom (Pimentel et al., 2001), $12 billion in South Africa (van Wilgen et al., 2001), $3 billion in Australia (Sinden et al., 2004), and $1 billion in New Zealand (Williams and Timmins, 2002).”
Bombus terrestris, pollinator, invasive and pest: An assessment of problems associated with its widespread introductions for commercial purposes (2010, background): “For example, weeds already cost Australia $3,554–4,532 billion per annum in control and lost production (Sinden et al., 2004), and an Australian government report conservatively estimated that if nine current sleeper weeds were not eradicated they could eventually cost $100 million dollars annually…”
