Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning
challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human …

The core principle shared by most theories and models of succession is that, following a
major disturbance, plant–environment feedback dynamics drive a directional change in the …

Non-native plant invasions, changes in fire regime, and increasing drought stress all pose
important threats to biodiverse mediterranean-climate shrublands. These factors can also …

Invasive alien plants (IAPs) represent a major challenge to biodiversity and ecosystem
functioning, especially those transformer species. Litter chemistry and decomposition rates …

Plants alter soil biological communities, generating ecosystem legacies that affect the
performance of successive plants, influencing plant community assembly and successional …

Most restoration projects involving invasive plant eradication tend to focus on plant removal
with little consideration given to how these invasives change soil microbial communities …

Invasive plants are regarded as both drivers and passengers of change in the ecosystems
they invade. In both conditions, these plants are reported to cause significant changes in soil …

Biological invasions impact both agricultural and natural systems. The damage can be
quantified in terms of both economic loss and reduction of biodiversity. Although the …
