This field guide enables the identification of a range of invasive plants and animals now found in Britain.

The impact of invasive organisms is second only to habitat loss as a threat to biodiversity and yet, despite increasing ecological awareness, people remain largely unaware of these plants and animals and their potentially devastating impact. Although most biological introductions fail, many prove successful and these can prove disastrous for native fauna and flora.

Field Guide to Invasive Plants and Animals in Britainis the first unified guide dedicated to the identification of introduced species. Pocket-sized and packed with photographs and detailed maps showing the spread of species, it is the definitive handbook for the amateur naturalist looking to identify and learn more about Britain’s invasive flora and fauna. It is also an important tool for ecologists and land managers attempting to tackle the problem these species pose.
