National list of naturalised invasive and potentially invasive garden plants (2004)

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.

Alien Flora of Australia

Biological invasions are a major threat to Australia. Information on alien flora in Australia is collated independently by different jurisdictions, which has led to inconsistencies at the national level, hampering efficient management. The Alien Flora of Australia (AFA) is an Australian first: a nationally unified dataset that harmonises different information sources.

The introduced flora of Australia and its weed status

This landmark 2007 report, introduced flora of Australia and its weed status by R.P. Randell lists 29,430 plant species and identifies the 2,739 naturalised species of the 26,242 introduced plant species in Australia, and 5,907 species present in Australia which have weed histories elsewhere in the world but no current history as a weed in Australia. It is these plants that are most likely to become weeds in Australia, given the right opportunities.

Early invader manual: Managing early invader environmental weeds in Victoria

This “Early invader manual: managing early invader environmental weeds in Victoria” (manual) is a summary of a set of six detailed guides about early invader management. They can help improve decision making about what are the highest risk weeds, how to search for and identify them, determine where the infestation boundaries are, work out which management approach is best and where feasible, respond with local eradication.

Impact of environmental weeds on biodiversity

This report by R.J. Adair & R.H.Groves is a review and development of a methodology.
