NOBANIS Fact sheets on Invasive Species from NAL Site

From the National Agricultral Library site, we find that invasive species are not an "American" problem, and certainly, this information goes far in countering those who claim there is no science or problem.

"Fact sheets on Invasive Alien Species
The NOBANIS project provides fact sheets on some of the invasive alien species of the region, covering both animals and plant as well as microorganisms. We are currently in the process of uploading the fact sheets - so please visit this page regularly.
The NOBANIS fact sheets
The species profiles below follow the same format and provide information on the biology, ecology and distribution of the invasive alien species as well as on the impact of the species in the recipient habitats. Furthermore, management approaches are suggested. Important resources such as contact persons, links and references are also presented in the fact sheets. The fact sheets are written by experts of the region and all fact sheets are furthermore refereed by scientific experts from all NOBANIS (North European and Baltic Network) countries - thus ensuring that the collated regional knowledge is reflected in the fact sheets.
The fact sheets presented below are not to be regarded as a consensus list of "worst invasive alien species" for the region. The fact sheets fall in several categories, some can indeed regarded as the worst invaders of the entire region, while others are only a problem in one or a few countries. In each case the impact and status of the species should be clear from the fact sheet. The fact sheets are organised as pdf-files with bookmarks for the 6 section "headings.
