An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “…naturalized plants in China have recently been compiled (Wu et al. 2010, Jiang et al. 2011) and some on invasive species already exist (Liu et al. 2005, Weber and Li 2008, Weber et al. 2008, Huang et al. 2009, Xu et al. 2012), a comprehensive list of all non-native plants in China is still lacking.”
Patterns of plant invasions in China: Taxonomic, biogeographic, climatic approaches and anthropogenic effects (2010, background): “Although recent attention has been paid to the pattern of plant invasion in China, figures for less familiar invasive plants in China, compiled from the literature, number only 1–200 (Liu et al. 2006; Ding et al. 2008; Weber and Li 2008a, b).”
The alien flora of Greece: taxonomy, life traits and habitat preferences (2010, background): “It is only recently that these two questions have been considered in concert (Richardson and Pyšek 2006; Weber et al. 2008).”
A test of baker’s law: breeding systems of invasive species of Asteraceae in China (2011, background): “Study species and plant material In China, 44 (Xu and Qiang 2004) to 53 (Weber et al. 2008) species of Asteraceae are considered invasive.”
