Bring in the bug squad - Controlling alien invasive plants in Namibia
Can a plant pose a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem function and agriculture? If it has been transported from its native environment to another continent with a similar climate, the answer is yes. Some exotic (or alien) plants invade the new land with such vigour and speed that they become impossible to control, and an out of control plant can create an ecological nightmare. But why does this happen? And when it does, can we ever get it back under control?
