The weeds information provided on this website derives from the Weeds and Climate Change Technical Guide (PDF).

The following book chapter, which lists some 70 references to Australian weed studies, was used as the basis for the Technical Guide:

• Webber, B.L., van Klinken, R.D. and Scott, J.K. (2014) Invasive plants in a rapidly changing climate: an Australian perspective. In: Invasive Species and Global Climate Change (eds L.H. Ziska and J.S. Dukes) CABI Publishing, Wallingford UK, pp 169-197.

  While we recognise that there is a large amount of information on the internet to help guide weed management, we caution users that the internet remains an unfiltered way of distributing data. By listing an internet resource here we are not endorsing the content or the quality of the information available.
