Many anthropic activities generate soil disturbances, favoring competitive, fast growing
invasive plant species at the expense of natives. Active restoration of invasion-resistant plant …

Ecosystem engineers strongly influence the communities in which they live by modifying
habitats and altering resource availability. These biogenic changes can persist beyond the …

Exotic species are a growing global ecological threat; however, their overall effects are
insufficiently understood. While some exotic species are implicated in many species …

This report synthesizes all aspects of the taxonomy, distribution, history of introduction and
spread, ecological constrains (including preferred climate, substratum and habitats) …

Plant invasions are becomingly increasingly common with global climate change. As a
significant threat to biodiversity, appropriate management of invasive species is critical for …

Pollution associated to marine plastic litter is raising increasing concerns due to its potential
harmful effects on human health, biota, and coastal ecosystems. However, limited …

Microbial communities in soils are generally considered to be limited by carbon (C), which
could be a crucial control for basic soil functions and responses of microbial heterotrophic …

This new edition-now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author-continues the themes of the first
edition: the need to restore the biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services …

Beach litter is one of the most pervasive pollution issues in coastal environments worldwide.
In this study, we aim to assess the amount and distribution of beach litter on Porto Paglia …

Plant invasions can have long-lasting impacts on soil nitrification, which plays a critical role
in nutrient cycling and plant growth. This review examines the legacy effects of plant …
