About the Journal

Journal of Invasive Plant Biology (JIPB) focuses on the ecology, biology and environmental impact of invasive plant species, offering a platform for studies that explain how invasive plants establish, spread and alter ecosystems. It is intended to attract submissions on invasion mechanisms, ecological consequences, climate-driven invasion patterns and restoration strategies. Unlike journals centred on herbicides or weed management, this journal emphasises ecological processes, species behaviour, evolutionary patterns and environmental risks associated with plant invasions. Its main advantage lies in supporting researchers working on biodiversity loss, ecosystem resilience and invasive-species monitoring, areas that are rapidly growing due to global environmental change and conservation priorities.

[JIPB] A Fresh Platform Focused on Ecology, Evolution, and Impact

2026-03-24

Plant invasions are accelerating. Climate change is shifting ranges. Ecosystems are under pressure. And while there are excellent journals covering herbicides, weed control, and agricultural management, we felt something was missing—a space dedicated specifically to the biology, ecology, and environmental consequences of invasive plants.

That is what Journal of Invasive Plant Biology (JIPB) is meant to be.
