The current scenario of rapid urbanization and anthropogenic disturbances across the globe are supplemental to the expansion of invasive alien plant species. Urban ecosystems are strangely under-explored in the constantly developing understanding of alien species invasions. In this book, topics related to alien plant species occurrence in urban ecosystems, their ecosystem services and disservices, their comparative assessment to native species, challenges to the urban ecosystems under changing climatic scenarios, the impact of alien plants on different components of urban environment/ecosystems, aesthetic values, livelihoods and health of urban dwellers, management approaches and policies related to alien plants in urban systems are highlighted. The book will be helpful in understanding the invasion process in urban centres as human-affected landscapes in urban areas are expected to support a larger chunk of alien species, and are instrumental in the dissemination of invasive propagules to nearby natural landscapes. Invasive alien plant species are reported as a serious threat to native biodiversity and human health. It is predicted that climate change associated disturbances or extreme events may play supportive role in colonization and spread of invasive alien plants in urban ecosystems. This book will be suitable for students (undergraduate and postgraduates) of urban planning and architecture, urban agriculture, urban forestry, urban ecology, and environmental sciences; teachers, researchers, climate change scientists in academic and research institutions. It will also be applicable to town planning and environmental management agencies, government agencies and policy makers. 410 0$aEarth and Environmental Science Series 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aUrban Ecology 606 $aEnvironmental Health 606 $aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aEnvironmental education. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 615 24$aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a333.7 700 $aSingh$b Rishikesh$01359323 701 $aBhadouria$b Rahul$01359320 701 $aTripathi$b Sachchidanand$01359321 701 $aKohli$b Ravinder Kumar$01854117 701 $aSingh$b Hema$0721045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911035041003321 996 $aInvasive Alien Plants in Urban Ecosystems$94451201 997 $aUNINA
