Quantitative assessments of alien plant impacts are essential to inform management to
ensure that resources are prioritized against the most problematic species and that …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and
economic impacts across the globe. However, it is unclear whether there are strong patterns …

Terrestrial invasive plants are a global problem and are becoming ubiquitous components of
most ecosystems. They are implicated in altering disturbance regimes, reducing biodiversity …

Background and Aims Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions,
with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems …

Invasive plant species should be evaluated and prioritized for management according to
their impacts, which include reduction in native diversity, changes to nutrient pools, and …

Plant invasions can have large effects on ecosystem services. Some plant invaders were
introduced specifically to restore key services to ecosystems, and other invaders are having …

Despite intensive research during the past decade on the effects of alien species, invasion
science still lacks the capacity to accurately predict the impacts of those species and …

With the growing body of literature assessing the impact of invasive alien plants on resident
species and ecosystems, a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between invasive …

Methods used to evaluate the ecological impacts of biological invasions vary widely from
broad-scale observational studies to removal experiments in invaded communities and …

Biological invasions are a major driver of ecosystem change but causes of variation in their
environmental impacts over space and time remain poorly understood. Most approaches …
