Alien plant management typically focuses on either controlling selected alien species (‘species-led'), or on minimizing invasions within selected biodiversity or cultural assets (‘asset-led'). Here, we compare and combine species- and asset-led approaches to prioritise alien plant management activities in the world's largest Mediterranean-climate woodland, located in south-western Australia. Our species-led approach focused on identifying aliens likely to be increasingly problematic in future with a changing climate. Our asset-led approach used comprehensive flora survey data to identify key predictors of contemporary alien presence, with the purpose of minimising alien occurrence across the asset of a relatively little-disturbed landscape. Most aliens were associated with climates more mesic than are predicted to occur in the region in future. A limited range of alien taxa (12%) are predicted to be both highly invasive in the future and feasibly eradicated or contained, and it is these that should be subject to species-led management. A consistent set of management-related predictors of contemporary alien presence were identified, including closer proximity to towns, buildings and water points, and occurrence on a geology and soil type associated with prospective mineral deposits. Addressing the highest management priorities of each approach would appear to be a complementary and parsimonious way forward for regional-scale alien management for biodiversity conservation, as this tackles the processes associated with contemporary alien spread (asset-led approach) while taking a precautionary approach to pre-empt future problematic invasions (species-led approach). © Crown Copyright, 2015 Asset-protection nationallicence Climate change nationallicence Great Western Woodlands nationallicence Invasive species nationallicence Weed invasion nationallicence Weed risk assessment nationallicence Gosper Carl Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, 6983, Bentley, WA, Australia aut Prober Suzanne CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, Private Bag 5, 6913, Wembley, WA, Australia aut Yates Colin Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, 6983, Bentley, WA, Australia aut Scott John CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, Private Bag 5, 6913, Wembley, WA, Australia aut Biodiversity and Conservation Springer Netherlands 24/11(2015-10-01), 2789-2807 0960-3115 24:11<2789 2015 24 10531 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-015-0973-x text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-015-0973-x text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Gosper Carl Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, 6983, Bentley, WA, Australia aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Prober Suzanne CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, Private Bag 5, 6913, Wembley, WA, Australia aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Yates Colin Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, 6983, Bentley, WA, Australia aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Scott John CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, Private Bag 5, 6913, Wembley, WA, Australia aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Biodiversity and Conservation Springer Netherlands 24/11(2015-10-01), 2789-2807 0960-3115 24:11<2789 2015 24 10531
