The community ecology of invasive species: where are we and what's next?
Alien species are continually introduced in most regions of the world, but not all survive and
coexist with the resident native species. Approaches analyzing the functional (or …

Plant–environment interactions through a functional traits perspective: a review of Italian studies
Italy is among the European countries with the greatest plant diversity due to both a great
environmental heterogeneity and a long history of man–environment interactions. Trait …

Height variation hypothesis: A new approach for estimating forest species diversity with CHM LiDAR data
An indirect method for estimating biodiversity from Earth observations is the Spectral

Contrasting responses of native and alien plant species to soil properties shed new light on the invasion of dune systems
Aims Among terrestrial ecosystems, coastal sandy dunes are particularly prone to alien plant
invasion. Many studies related the invasion of dune habitats to anthropic causes, but less is …

[HTML][HTML] Containing alien plants in coastal dunes: Evidence from a soil manipulation experiment
Biological invasion is recognised as one of the major threats to biodiversity, particularly in
disturbance-prone ecosystems such as costal dunes. Many studies have associated alien …

The invasion paradox dissolves when using phylogenetic and temporal perspectives
The prediction that higher biodiversity leads to denser niche packing and thus higher
community resistance to invasion has long been studied, with species richness as the …
