Predicting plant invasions in an era of global change
The relationship between plant invasions and global change is complex. Whereas some
components of global change, such as rising CO 2, usually promote invasion, other …

Direct and indirect effects of invasive plants on soil chemistry and ecosystem function
JD Weidenhamer, RM Callaway - Journal of chemical ecology, 2010 - Springer
Invasive plants have a multitude of impacts on plant communities through their direct and
indirect effects on soil chemistry and ecosystem function. For example, plants modify the soil …

Ecosystem‐level effects of keystone species reintroduction: a literature review
SL Hale, JL Koprowski - Restoration Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The keystone species concept was introduced in 1969 in reference to top‐down regulation
of communities by predators, but has expanded to include myriad species at different trophic …

Immobilizing nitrogen to control plant invasion
Increased soil N availability may often facilitate plant invasions. Therefore, lowering N
availability might reduce these invasions and favor desired species. Here, we review the …

Empirical evidence of fixed and homeostatic patterns of polyploid advantage in a keystone grass exposed to drought and heat stress
RC Godfree, DJ Marshall, AG Young… - Royal Society …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A long-standing hypothesis in evolutionary biology is that polyploid plants have a fitness
advantage over diploids in climatically variable or extreme habitats. Here we provide the first …
