1.观赏园艺是外来入侵植物引种的主要途径。我们批判性地评估了四种政策工具的有效性的公开证据，这些政策工具沿着园艺供应链应对入侵：边境前的进口限制，边境后的禁令，行业行为准则和消费者教育。有效的边境前干预措施依赖于严格的风险评估和行业的高度合规。当外来物种在一个地区广泛传播时，边境后销售禁令的效力就会逐渐降低。缺乏独立的业绩评估和公开披露，限制了自愿行为守则的采用和有效性，并阻碍消费者改变对外来入侵物种的偏好。政策影响。关闭与观赏园艺相关的植物入侵途径需要政府与行业达成协议，为有效的边境前和边境后杂草风险评估提供资金，这些评估随后可以得到广泛采用的可核查的行业行为守则的支持。这将确保生产者和消费者在面对针对植物入侵的更有针对性的公众教育时做出明智的选择。
1. Ornamental horticulture is the primary pathway for invasive alien plant introductions. We critically appraise published evidence on the effectiveness of four policy instruments that tackle invasions along the horticulture supply chain: pre-border import restrictions, post-border bans, industry codes of conduct and consumer education.2. Effective pre-border interventions rely on rigorous risk assessment and high industry compliance. Post-border sales bans become progressively less effective when alien species become widespread in a region.3. A lack of independent performance evaluation and of public disclosure, limits the uptake and effectiveness of voluntary codes of conduct and discourages shifts in consumer preference away from invasive alien species.4. Policy implications. Closing the plant invasion pathway associated with ornamental horticulture requires government-industry agreements to fund effective pre- and post-border weed risk assessments that can be subsequently supported by widely adopted, as well as verifiable, industry codes of conduct. This will ensure producers and consumers make informed choices in the face of better targeted public education addressing plant invasions.
