20.500.12556/DiRROS-21565 Economic costs of invasive alien species across Europe Biological invasions continue to threaten the stability of ecosystems and societies that are dependent on their services. Whilst the ecological impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) have been widely reported in recent decades, there remains a paucity of information concerning their economic impacts. Europe has strong trade and transport links with the rest of the world, facilitating hundreds of IAS incursions, and largely centralised decision-making frameworks. The present study is the first comprehensive and detailed effort that quantifies the costs of IAS collectively across European countries and examines temporal trends in these data. In addition, the distributions of costs across countries, socioeconomic sectors and taxonomic groups are examined, as are socio-economic correlates of management and damage costs. Total costs of IAS in Europe summed to US$140.20 billion (or €116.61 billion) between 1960 and 2020, with the majority (60%) being damage-related and impacting multiple sectors. Costs were also geographically widespread but dominated by impacts in large western and central European countries, i.e. the UK, Spain, France, and Germany. Human population size, land area, GDP, and tourism were significant predictors of invasion costs, with management costs additionally predicted by numbers of introduced species, research effort and trade. Temporally, invasion costs have increased exponentially through time, with up to US$23.58 billion (€19.64 billion) in 2013, and US$139.56 billion (€116.24 billion) in impacts extrapolated in 2020. Importantly, although these costs are substantial, there remain knowledge gaps on several geographic and taxonomic scales, indicating that these costs are severely underestimated. We, thus, urge increased and improved cost reporting for economic impacts of IAS and coordinated international action to prevent further spread and mitigate impacts of IAS populations. bodiversity insects InvaCost invasive species European Union monetary impacts non-native biota socio-economic correlates socioeconomic sectors neposredne izgube posredne izgube žuželke InvaCost invazivne vrste denarni vplivi Evropska unija tujerodni živi organizmi družbeno-ekonomski korelati družbeno-ekonomski sektorji true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-02-26 14:03:08 2025-02-26 14:03:08 2025-02-27 03:39:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 26. 2. 2025; str. 153-190 Vol. 67 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-01-01 630*4 1314-2488 10.3897/neobiota.67.58196 227439875 https://neobiota.pensoft.net/article/58196/element/8/56305// 1 08523240-f442-11ef-9f1e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30852 RAZ_Haubrock_Phillip_Joschka_2021.pdf RAZ_Haubrock_Phillip_Joschka_2021.pdf 1 CE21BBC642DCE952F5E62A0571270AFE a0b0339c75cf30930cf52a5350b67f77c3a91990c88d18cf1704b1238c0d3fe4 20a58dea-f442-11ef-9f1e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=30853 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
