Profile. 330 $aThe book ?Field Manual on Alien Flora of Kashmir Himalaya: Casual, Naturalised and Invasive Plants? has been prepared with two main goals in mind: (i) to promote awareness on the threats of invasive alien plants to biodiversity, ecology and environment, and (ii) to encourage research on, and management of, the alien plants. The Manual contains concise information on the taxonomy, ecology, invasion status, impacts, distribution and illustrated photo-plates of the alien plant species of Kashmir Himalaya, India. The Manual has three chapters: Chapter-I provides a general introduction to the discipline of invasion ecology. Chapter-II guides the readers on how to use the Manual, including brief information on the study region, methods, definitions and terminology used. Chapter-III comprises the bulk of this Manual, providing profileof 100 alien plant species with scientific information on the botanical, english and local names, taxonomic characters, ecological traits, current invasion status (casual, naturalised and invasive), impacts, native range, species? distribution-map in Kashmir Himalaya and coloured illustrations that will aid in field identification. It is hoped that the Manual will increase awareness on the threats posed by plant invasions among all the stakeholders - researchers, land managers, policy makers, environmentalists, naturalists, citizen-scientists, students, and the general public. It will also help in promoting research, formulating policies and planning management actions to deal with invasive alien species. 410 0$aInvading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology,$x2543-0483 ;$v15 606 $aIntroduced organisms 606 $aBotany 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aPopulation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aInvasive Species 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aPopulation Dynamics 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 615 0$aIntroduced organisms. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aPopulation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aInvasive Species. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aPopulation Dynamics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 676 $a297.05 700 $aGulzar$b Ruquia$01587900 702 $aKhuroo$b Anzar Ahmad 702 $aRashi?d$b ?Irfa?n 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799226403321 996 $aField Manual on Alien Flora of Kashmir Himalaya$93876581 997 $aUNINA
