Weeds and Seeds on clothing: A Global Review
Publish Date: 2014-05-26
Author/Source: Ansong, Michael; Pickering, Catherine
Description: We provide a global review of the diversity of species dispersed from clothing. •Across the 21 studies identified, seeds of 449 species (391 weeds) have been reported. •A large proportion of the seed collected so far were viable when germinated. •Seed traits, clothing type and the environment affect dispersal on clothing. •The potential for people's clothing to spread weed seed is a global-scale problem.

Publish Date: 2014-04-01
Author/Source: A.M. Davis, S.E. Lewis, J.E. Brodie, Ash Benson
Description: While several herbicides may well be viable alternatives in terms of weed control, they can still present equal or possibly higher risks to the environment. Imposing additional regulations (or even de-registrations) on particular herbicides could result in marginal, and possibly perverse environmental impacts in the long term, if usage shifts to alternative herbicides with similar risk profile
