Invasive species are one of the most important environmental challenges in the world. It is not always possible to combat them; generally, complex and expensive proceedings without guaranteed results are necessary. To reduce the impact of alien organisms on the environment, management strategies are used aiming to create mechanisms of environmental resistance.  aBiodiversity  aInvasive species  aBiodiversidade1 aSILVA, J.
