Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions
among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism …

Invasive species are widely accepted as one of the leading direct causes of biodiversity loss.
However, much of the evidence for this contention is based on simple correlations between …

Predicting ecosystem responses to global change is a major challenge in ecology. A critical
step in that challenge is to understand how changing environmental conditions influence …

Plant invasion potentially alters ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. However, the
overall direction and magnitude of such alterations are poorly quantified.• Here, 94 …

Few invaded ecosystems are free from habitat loss and disturbance, leading to uncertainty
whether dominant invasive species are driving community change or are passengers along …

The biotic resistance hypothesis predicts that diverse native communities are more resistant
to invasion. However, past studies vary in their support for this hypothesis due to an …

Les plantes aquatiques occupent une place importante dans différents écosystèmes d'eau
douce. Les auteurs passent en revue les influences naturelles et anthropogènes qui …

The classic reference on weeds and invasive plants has been revised and updated. The
Third Edition of this authoritative reference provides an in-depth understanding of how …

The global nitrogen cycle has been greatly perturbed by human activities resulting in
elevated nitrogen deposition in many parts of the world. The threat nitrogen deposition …

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