• Assessing the Effects of Invasive Alien Species on Rural Livelihoods: Case Examples and a Framework from South Africa (2007, background): “It has now invaded over 2.5 million ha (de Wit et al., 2001), with up to a further 8 million ha of currently natural lands at risk ( Rouget et al., 2002 ).”
• Species richness of alien plants in South Africa: Environmental correlates and the relationship with indigenous plant species richness (2005, background): “…appropriate to show the marked influence of human-mediated disturbance and other factors such as propagule pressure that become increasingly important as determinants of invasibility at finer spatial scales (Rouget et al., 2002; Rouget & Richardson, 2003a,b; Foxcroft et al., 2004; Huston, 2004).”
• Invasive alien plants in South Africa: how well do we understand the ecological impacts? (2004, background): “Conflicts are most pronounced where invasive species underpin large commercial activities, such as plantation forestry ( Pinus species); 84–86 where they provide fire-wood (many Acacia species), 87 food ( Opuntia species), 88 fodder ( Prosopis species), building materials ( Arundo donax, Acacia…”
• Mapping two Eucalyptus subgenera using multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis and continuum-removed imaging spectrometry data (2011, background): “Several eucalypt species are also important exotic plantation trees and invasive species in the Americas, Africa and Asia (Davidson, 1993; Rouget et al., 2002).”
• Pinus: a model group for unlocking the secrets of alien plant invasions? (2006, background): “Recently acquired knowledge of the invasion ecology of pines facilitates the objective demarcation of such zones (Rouget et al. 2002).”
• Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, background): “Some examples are the spatially explicit modeling of invasion risk for commercially important alien trees at a national scale (102); assessing the risk of invasive plants spreading along riparian zones into protected areas (103); a risk map for invasions of alien mussels (Dreissena spp.”
• Alien conifer invasions in South America: short fuse burning? (2008, background): “The identification of priority areas for conservation, with a view to excluding the planting of certain categories of alien conifers in particular areas (Rouget et al. 2002) could also be considered.”
