“…There is a large amount of additional literature on F. japonica covering areas including the ecology of the plant (Beerling et al, 1994;Child and Wade, 2000), its reproductive strategies and capabilities (Brock and Wade, 1992;Beerling et al, 1994;Brock et al, 1995;Hollingsworth and Bailey, 2000;de Waal, 2001;Price et al, 2002;Forman and Kesseli, 2003), management techniques and their effectiveness (Child and de Waal, 1997;Seiger and Merchant, 1997;Child et al, 1998;Dawson and Holland, 1999;Brabec and Pysek, 2000;Hathaway, 2000;Child et al, 2001;Green, 2003), the importance of scale in the interpretation of distribution maps and model output (Collingham et al, 2000;Hulme, 2003;Thuiller et al, 2003), its effects on riparian habitats (Pysek and Prach, 1993;Dawson and Holland, 1999;Tickner et al, 2001) and its genetic makeup and hybridisation (Beerling et al, 1994;Hollingsworth et al, 1998;Kim and Park, 2000). There is also a growing amount of data on the distribution of the plant throughout the British Isles collected for or by groups such as the City and Council of Swansea, the Cornwall Knotweed Forum and the Environment Agency.…”
