The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species.

Ecologically based invasive plant management (EBIPM) is a decision-making framework to improve the management of invasive plant species. When land managers are faced with infestations of invasive plants, a step by step framework to develop integrated management plans will improve their success at managing these plants.
