Two prominent limitations of species distribution models (SDM s) are spatial biases in
existing occurrence data and a lack of spatially explicit predictor variables to fully capture …

Non‐native, invasive grasses have been linked to altered grass‐fire cycles worldwide.
Although a few studies have quantified resulting changes in fire activity at local scales, and …

The relationship between plant invasions and global change is complex. Whereas some
components of global change, such as rising CO 2, usually promote invasion, other …
