The Effectiveness of Management Options Used for the Control of Spartina Species (systematic review)
Posted by AndrewPullin on July 11, 2014What is the aim of the review? To systematically collate and synthesise published and unpublished evidence in order to examine the effectiveness of management interventions used to control the abundance or completely eradicate invasive Spartina species; and to analyse, when possible, the effects that potential sources of heterogeneity (e.g. substrate type) have on the results.
