This website is a collaborative venture between AgWest (data & weed expertise) and the Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk project (HEAR) (database consultation & website management).
The Global Compendium of Weeds is a list of plant species (over 28,000 names) that have been cited in specific references (approximately 1,000) as weeds. An expert has assessed the status of the weed based on its context in each document. Sometimes additional information – such as native range, whether the plan has reported medical/herbal uses, etc – is included when available.
This resource lists over 1,000 garden plants that are either invasive or potentially invasive, classified according to their national importance. Published by WWF Australia May 2004.
MLA invests in weed control research and development (R&D) to create effective and long-lasting methods of eradicating weeds from pastures to create a sustainable feed base for livestock. Find reports, publications and best practice information.
The Centre, referred to as the Weeds CRC, was established on 1 July 2001, replacing the CRC for Weed Management Systems, which operated from 1995 until 2001. Check the CRC’s website as it appeared in 2008.
This website is a decision-support tool that provides users with the ability to interrogate individual profiles for over 700 non-native naturalised and invasive plant species within Australia and assess weed threats for regions of interest under current and predicted future climates.
The integration of modelling, spatial analysis and species’ trait information provides a comprehensive assessment and information source for these plant species under both current and future climates.
In terms of aquatic ecosystem management, vegetation has many benefits, such as providing habitat and increasing the strength of the substrate. There are situations where vegetation has negative implications. Examples include where vegetation has grown more abundant compared to its reference condition or its establishment has changed the boundary conditions such as the strength or roughness of the river channel. The consequences of these can be that native vegetation is outcompeted or that the rates and location of erosion and deposition are altered. All these impacts can result in a loss of habitat.
NSW WeedWise contains over 300 weed profiles, describing their profile, control (including registered herbicide options) and biosecurity duty (under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015). This information is tailored to NSW only.
