Subject:
grazing; trees; cost benefit analysis; woody weeds; economic valuation; functional diversity; invasive species; economic impact; introduced plants; range management; simulation models; ecosystem services; econometric models; water resources; accuracy; biological control; shrubs; habitats; South Africa
Abstract:
... This study is a first attempt at a holistic economic evaluation of South African endeavours to manage invasive alien plants using biological control. Our focus was on the delivery of ecosystem services from habitats that are invaded by groups of weeds, rather than by each individual weed species. We established the net present value of the weed biological control efforts, and derived benefit:cost ...

4. Long-term cost-effectiveness of coypu (Myocastor coypus) control in Piedmont (Italy)

Author:

Biological invasions 2010 v.12 no.8 pp. 2549-2558
ISSN:

Subject:
Myocastor coypus; vertebrate pests; rodent control; cost effectiveness; invasive species; agricultural land; crop damage; geographical distribution; cost benefit analysis; biodiversity; Italy
Abstract:
... We used the results of a permanent coypu control program to perform a cost-benefit analysis. The coypu colonization of Piedmont was followed by a constant increase of agricultural damage from 1997 to 2000, and its subsequent decrease from 2000 to 2005. Despite the increase of coypu's range, the control effort managed to stop the increase of the damage and start a gradual reduction in the period 20 ...

Biological invasions 2012 v.14 no.4 pp. 839-849
ISSN:

Subject:
cost benefit analysis; economic costs; economic impact; economic valuation; introduced plants; parameter uncertainty
Abstract:
... Worldwide, we rely on introduced plants for the essentials of human life; however, intentional plant introductions for commercial benefit have resulted in invaders with negative environmental, economic or social impacts. We argue that plant species of low expected economic value should be less acceptable for introduction than species of high economic value if their other traits are similar; howeve ...

Subject:
attitudes and opinions; biological control; cost benefit analysis; environmental impact; focus groups; invasive species; lakes; researchers; risk assessment; stakeholders; Great Lakes; United States
Abstract:
... Understanding people’s knowledge, attitudes, and concerns about genetic biocontrol can help researchers understand the challenges and opportunities that may be encountered during development of these technologies. This study conducted eight focus groups in the United States Great Lakes and Lake Champlain region to assess different stakeholders’ views about genetic biocontrol technology, factors af ...

Subject:
Moorea; Rhizophora stylosa; biodiversity; coasts; cost benefit analysis; ecosystems; grasslands; indigenous species; invasive species; mangroves (trees); questionnaires; satellites; stakeholders; Tahiti
Abstract:
... Biotic mixing, where introduced and native species mix into a newly formed ecosystem, is an increasing phenomenon worldwide. It particularly affects islands, where the number of introduced plants often exceeds native ones, and where invasive alien species are one of the main threats to terrestrial biodiversity. The mangrove tree species Rhizophora stylosa, first introduced in French Polynesia (Sou ...
