Guidelines for the management of non-native plant species

These guidelines present a collection of recommendations and best practices to be used for preventing and controlling the spread of some of the most common invasive plant species in Mediterranean islands and coastal areas. Along with operational guidance, they provide an overview of the basic concepts of plant invasion biology, regulatory references, and management techniques, to disseminate knowledge and share good practices. 

The document stems from the integration of the experience gained during the Life PonDerat project (LIFE 14NAT/IT/000544), which took place on the Ponziane Islands (southern Lazio Region, Italy), with the results of similar projects and research in the Mediterranean Basin.
