在美国，只有州或联邦有毒杂草名单上的物种受到管制。根据我们的分析，这些监管清单很难代表非管理（即，非农业）系统。为了提高入侵植物在国家监管名单上的代表性，我们建议将上市权分配给入侵物种委员会，并为有毒杂草名单的科学改革提供指导。我们还建议在有意引入新的植物产品之前，采用商业最佳实践来测试入侵性。最后，我们引入了一个疏忽责任计划，以阻止潜在的入侵者的引入。如果被采纳，我们的建议可能会使非农业生态系统受益，并可能对生物能源生产商和植物产业的其他人产生积极影响，这些人正在接受审查，以促进潜在的入侵物种作为能源作物。随着生物能源行业的发展势头，修订后的监管制度可能会减轻人们对引进新植物的一个潜在负面后果的担忧。
In the United States, only species listed on state or federal noxious weed lists are regulated. According to our analysis, these regulatory lists poorly represent invasive plants in unmanaged (i.e., nonagricultural) systems. To improve the representation of invasive plants on state regulatory lists, we recommend allocating listing authority to invasive species councils and provide guidance for the science-based reform of noxious weed lists. We also recommend commercial best practices to test for invasiveness prior to intentional introduction of new plant products. Finally, we introduce a negligence liability scheme to discourage the introduction of potential invaders. If adopted, our recommendations could benefit nonagricultural ecosystems and could have positive consequences for bioenergy producers and others in plant industry, who are under scrutiny for promoting potentially invasive species as energy crops. As the bioenergy industry gains momentum, a revised regulatory regime may alleviate the concerns regarding one potential negative consequence of novel plant introduction.
