Balancing Control and Management of Lantana camara: Integrative Approaches and Future Directions
摘要
This chapter gives an extensive overview of current control and management techniques for Lantana camara, including mechanical, chemical, biological, and the important role of integrative methods. We describe the effectiveness, limitations, and recent developments in each method and ethical concerns that arise when trying to manage extensive invasion. Socioeconomic aspects of Lantana camara invasion are also covered, and we describe some use-based management strategies. The overall message is that successful long-term management of Lantana camara is through an integrated, adaptive, and community-based framework that combines short-term suppression, ecological restoration, and sustainable utilization.
