Some non-native species may become invasive and cause undesirable impacts, thereby motivating targeted decision-making and management actions. Australian acacias (or wattles; genus Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae) have been introduced worldwide, offering both opportunities and risks for local communities. Understanding how stakeholders perceive invasive acacias is paramount to assist effective decision-making. We assessed stakeholders\u2019 perceptions about these non-native acacias, their invasion process, social-ecological impacts and management. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey with experienced managers and decision-makers in Northern Portugal, where acacia invasions are widespread. We found that most stakeholders are not able to recognize non-native species, failing to identify the introduction period, drivers of dispersion and appropriate management methods of Australian acacias. We could also identify different stakeholder perceptions on the benefits and negative impacts provided by these species. We call for the implementation of technical training and information outreach strategies to address stakeholders\u2019 lack of knowledge (and experience) on the recognition and identification of non-native trees, as well as on their introduction and invasion history, drivers of dispersion, costs and benefits, and effective management actions. Stakeholders\u2019 engagement should be promoted in the design and implementation of biosecurity efforts to control (and\/or adapt to) invasive acacias at relevant scales of invasion management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/forestry\/cpz060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,7]],"date-time":"2019-09-07T19:21:41Z","timestamp":1567884101000},"page":"557-566","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Stakeholders\u2019 perceptions towards non-native acacias and implications for their management in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Ana Sofia","family":"Vaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Botanica, Universidad de Granada, Facultad de Ciencias, Campus Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071, Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Laboratorio de Ecolog\u00eda (iEcolab), Instituto Interuniversitario de Investigaci\u00f3n del Sistema Tierra en Andaluc\u00eda (IISTA-CEAMA), Universidad de Granada, Avenida del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006, Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (InBIO-CIBIO), Campus Agr\u00e1rio de Vair\u00e3o, Rua Padre Armando Quintas, PT4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (InBIO-CIBIO), Campus Agr\u00e1rio de Vair\u00e3o, Rua Padre Armando Quintas, PT4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (InBIO-CIBIO), Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, Tapada da Ajuda, 1349-017 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o P","family":"Honrado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (InBIO-CIBIO), Campus Agr\u00e1rio de Vair\u00e3o, Rua Padre Armando Quintas, PT4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, s\/n, PT4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Joana R","family":"Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (InBIO-CIBIO), Campus Agr\u00e1rio de Vair\u00e3o, Rua Padre Armando Quintas, PT4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020120619053255000_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jenvman.2018.06.051","article-title":"Exploring the dynamics of research collaborations by mapping social networks in invasion science","volume":"229","author":"Abrahams","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
