abstract = "Smith et al. (2015) recently proposed that weed risk assessments (WRA) systems {"}are unable to accurately address broad, intraspecific variation and that species introduced for agronomic purposes pose special limitations.{"} This conclusion is drawn from their application of the Australian (A-WRS) and U.S. (US-WRA) weed reis assessment systems to evaluate proposed bioenergy crops, cultivated crops, and know invasive nonnative plants.
