Invasive and alien plants are one of the factors threatening biodiversity. Influence of this factor will become stronger in the future because of climate change. In local or regional areas these species are capable of disturbing material and energetic flows, change properties of environment and affect (often negatively) materials and services provided by ecosystems. This is the reason why invasive species are becoming targets of eradication and other interventions leading towards reducing their numbers and spread in invaded area. Despite these efforts, expansion and number of invasive alien species is growing in the world. Mainly globalization, more intensive traffic through countries and continents drive spreading of plants to new areas.There are not many examples of successfull eradication projects which led to complete removal of alien invasive plants on bigger areas. The majority of successfull removal of these species took place on islands. Fails of these efforts were caused probably by the need of repeating management action over the affected areas several years after. It is necessary to have clear idea since the beginning of the intervention about time frame of intervention and arrange enough money, material and personal capital.
