To add any species of EU concern to the list of regulated species, a risk assessment should be carried out and prove that the species has adverse impact on biodiversity and related ecosystems services and that concerted action at the Union level is required to prevent its introduction, establishment or spread. Since the middle of the 2000s, the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) has published risk assessments on dozens of invasive plant species. These assessments are in fact a thorough review of the biology, ecology and impacts of the species concerned. Although this pioneering work in Europe has allowed to list most of the invasive plants that will be included on the first list proposed for the Regulation no. 1143/2014, we think that such works deserve a broader dissemination through academic publications and we encourage risk assessors to consider publishing their works in Botany Letters. Of course, the series does not only intend to update and upgrade previous risk assessments, but more widely to allow invasion biologists to publish a summary of their works on a given species
El primer volum de la sèrie és dedicat a Baccharis halimifolia L.
