Our test of the Australian Weed Risk Assessment system (WRA) in Florida and comparison of these results with those from tests of the system in other geographies reveal a number of areas where methodological variation may influence results. We demonstrate differences among the tests, such as variabi...
The Australian Weed Risk Assessment system is widely used and recommended as a preintroduction screen to predict the risk of introduced plant species becoming invasive or weedy. We have been working to assess the usefulness of this sys- tem for Canada, and to adapt it to improve its performance...
