- Abstract
The aquatic weed risk assessment model (AWRAM) has been used as a decision support tool to prevent the importation of potentially invasive aquatic weeds distributed in the international ornamental plant trade. The model has also been used to rank potential weeds already in Australia and New Zealand, supporting management tools such as banning from sale and distribution, and eradication programs. Competition experiments to evaluate the weed potential of aquatic plants where little information on weediness is available are discussed as an additional tool to assist with weed risk assessment.
