Serial title, monograph or event: | Plants | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 13 | Abstract: | Current control methods for invasive alien plants (IAPs) have acceptable short-term outcomes but have proven to be unfeasible or unaffordable in the long-term or for large invaded areas. For these reasons, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable approaches to control or restrict the spread of aggressive IAPs. The use of waste derived from IAP control actions could contribute to motivating the long-term management and preservation of local biodiversity while promoting some economic returns for stakeholders. However, this strategy may raise some concerns that should be carefully addressed before its implementation. In this article, we summarize the most common methods to control IAPs, explaining their viability and limitations. We also compile the potential applications of IAP residues and discuss the risks and opportunities associated with this strategy. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112585 | ISSN: | 2223-7747 | DOI: | 10.3390/plants12132482 | Rights: | openAccess |
