Check out the @CommonsSTC report on #JapaneseKnotweed - referring to our @SoGLeeds and Aecom research published here https://t.co/oZwtK4l4f8 #InvasivesWeek UK "overly cautious" on Japanese knotweed https://t.co/RJb7CqQ1rx
It's #invasivespeciesweek so here's the link to our #openaccess @thePeerJ paper on #JapaneseKnotweed and #structural #damage (or the lack thereof) compared with other plants! https://t.co/oZwtK4l4f8

A really interesting article written by a former tutor of mine @KarenL_Bacon! Highlights the importance of continual research into invasive species to help us understand the impacts they have and thus how to effectively manage them.
Peer-reviewed research from @thePeerJ making an impact!
Read the #openaccess paper: Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica): an analysis of capacity to cause structural damage (compared to other plants) and typical rhizome extension https://t.co/ZDNxChch5S https://t.co/ubta6hUApm
Nice email from @thePeerJ telling me that our paper on #Japaneseknotweed was among the top 5 most viewed in #PlantScience articles in the journal last year! Check it out here: https://t.co/oZwtK43sQy #ecology

"F. japonica is increasingly sensationalised and is credited on a regular basis with an ability to 'grow through concrete' and 'destroy building foundations".
One recent study claims there is essentially no support for this perception: https://t.co/IhIM4dDPWS #JapaneseKnotweed https://t.co/tlWFBabOTf
