Tony,
There is a lot of literature out there on invasives of all kinds. I've had good luck finding what I am looking for by doing a google search for the Latin name (in quotes so that it searches for the exact phrase) and also the words "invasive", "effects OR impacts". I also include "pdf" because most of the so-called good stuff will have been converted into pdf format. Good luck finding what you seek.
