We explored traits that promote plant invasions. External factors affecting invasion success
consist of various abiotic and biotic constraints. How well plants perform under those …

Biological invasions represent a major threat to natural ecosystems. A primary source of
invasive plants is ornamental horticulture, which selects traits related to invasiveness. This …

Abstract The Southern African region suffers from drought and food system uncertainty with
increased risks due to climate change, natural disasters, and global catastrophes …

Introduction Climate change-related CO2 increases and different forms of nitrogen
deposition are thought to affect the performance of plants, but their interactions have been …

Background Interactions between alien plants and insect herbivores in introduced ranges
may determine their invasion success. However, few studies have investigated whether …
