Restoration islands are concentrated plantings in strategic locations, created to efficiently
use resources to achieve restoration goals. These methods have been used effectively in …

Ecologists have identified a growing number of functional traits that promote invasion.
However, whether trait differences between exotic and native species promote invasion …

The coexistence of grasses, herbs, shrubs and trees characterizes savannas; therefore, to
restore such ecosystems one should consider re-introducing all these growth forms …

Non-native plants are now a pervasive feature of ecosystems across the globe 1. One
hypothesis for this pattern is that introduced species occupy open niches in recipient …

Aim We aimed to evaluate the performance of native tree species in the restoration of
savanna vegetation by direct seeding, to assess whether weed control and intercropping …

Ecological filter models derived from community assembly theory can inform restoration
planning by highlighting management actions most likely to affect community composition …

Global warming could accelerate the spread of invasive species to higher latitudes and
intensify their effects on native species. Here, we report results of two years of field surveys …

Soil resource heterogeneity can affect plant growth and competitive ability. However, little is
