Experimentally testing whether plant communities higher in these components of diversity …

Large‐scale water conservancy projects benefit human life but have modified the landscape
and provided opportunities for alien plant invasions. Understanding the environmental (eg …

Phylogenetic diversity (PD), the evolutionary history of the organisms comprising a
community, is increasingly recognized as an important driver of ecosystem function …

Understanding the relationship between plant diversity and invasibility is essential in
invasion ecology. Species‐rich communities are hypothesized to be more resistant to …

Invasive exotic plant species (IEPs) are widely distributed across the globe, but whether
IEPs are drivers or passengers of habitat change in the invaded spaces remains unclear …

The phenomenon of plant invasion is a consequence of invading plants' exceptional range
