Cost
of Invasive Non-native Species - Early Eradication
Lessens Impact (Dec 15, 2010)
Scottish Goverment.
The financial cost of non-native species has been published in a new report. "The
Economic Cost of Invasive Non-Native Species to the British Economy" suggests
that invasive species cost 1.7 billion pounds every year. The research was conducted
by the international scientific organization CABI for
the Scottish Government, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government and breaks down
the effect on each country. It indicates that the economic cost of INNS can be
wide ranging and can result in the loss of crops, ecosystems and livelihoods.
The cost to the agriculture and horticulture sector alone is estimated to be
1 billion pounds across Britain. See Great
Britain Non-native Species Secretariat - Reports for the full report and
supporting document.

Put Price Tag on Invasive Species: Research reports
costs of invasive species' damage to ecosystem services
(Apr 20, 2009)
Ecological Society of America.
In a study, How
well do we understand the impacts of alien species on
ecosystem services? A pan-European, cross-taxa assessment (published
in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment e-view),
ecologists have listed the invasive species that cause
the most harm to environment and cost the most money
to control.
