Riley Bloom is a twelve-year-old girl who is extra intuitive. Her special intuitive abilities put her on the trail of a mystery. Several people in Riley’s town of Foggy Hollow have disappeared without a trace. At first, Riley has no clue what has happened to the missing townspeople. But then she meets Zach Archer, a new kid in school who has a wild theory about the whereabouts of the missing citizens. Zach’s theory is that Earth is being invaded by aliens. Zach and Riley form a team with two other kids, who together use their combined talents to try to stop the alien plot to take over the planet. They have a lot of smarts on their side, but it’s not easy to save the world when you have a big history paper due in a week . . . especially when your history teacher is an alien in disguise!
Invasive alien plants pose a major threat to agriculture and livelihoods worldwide. This book considers those impacts and options for biological control, through a case study of mikania weed, a neotropical invasive plant in many countries in the tropical humid forest zones of Southeast Asia. This perennial vine can smother agro-forestry and natural forest ecosystems, as well as many crops within homegarden and plantation production systems. The design of policy frameworks to combat invasive species is considered in depth, as is the use of classical biological control against mikania weed ; 1: Invasive alien plants as a constraint to development in tropical Asia: is there a crisis in the making?2: Profile of an invasive plant: Mikania micrantha3: Social and economic implications of Mikania micrantha in the Kerala Western Ghats4: Impacts and management options for Mikania micrantha in plantations5: Mikania micrantha: its status and impact on people and wildlife in Nepal6: Impact and management of invasive alien plants on Pacific island communities7: Understanding the impact of invasive Mikania micrantha in shifting agriculture and its management through traditional ecological knowledge8: Prevention and related measures for invasive alien plants in India; policy framework and other initiatives9: Control options for invasive alien plants in agroforestry10: Classical biological control of Mikania micrantha: the sustainable solution11: Policy frameworks for the implementation of a classical biological control strategy: the Chinese experience12: Policy frameworks for the implementation of a classical biological control strategy: the Indian experience
