AbstractIn the last two decades, there has been an increasing realisation worldwide that invasions by exotic weeds are second only to landscape destruction through clearing and development as a threat to biodiversity. Recognition of the massive impact of exotic weeds is only slowly filtering down to on-ground land managers and the general public, where there is still a view that all plants are more or less equally desirable. The major impact of exotic weeds is displacement of the native flora. Displacement directly reduces the population of native plant species, which may become endangered or extinct in all or part of their ranges.
