The accompanying text details the origin of the species' introduction to North America, provides thorough and accessible botanical descriptions, explains the economic and environmental impacts of each species, and includes basic information on control measures. The authors also include suggestions for native alternatives to use in gardens in place of problematic horticultural species.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first book of this kind written specifically about the state, \u003cem\u003eProblem Plants of Ohio\u003c\/em\u003e presents new research on the change in nonnative species over time and discusses how climate change will further exacerbate the issue of invasive species.
