We surveyed endophytic fungal communities in leaves of a single tree species
(Metrosideros polymorpha) across wide environmental gradients (500–5,500 mm of rain/y; …

Ecosystem restoration efforts are carried out by a variety of individuals and organizations
with an equally varied set of goals, priorities, resources and time-scales. Once restoration of …

Most ecosystems have multiple-plant invaders rather than single-plant invaders, yet
ecological studies and management actions focus largely on single invader species. There …

The environmental and biotic factors affecting spatial variation in canopy three-dimensional
(3-D) structure and aboveground tree biomass (AGB) are poorly understood in tropical rain …

The positive relationship between species diversity (richness and evenness) and critical
ecosystem functions, such as productivity, carbon storage, and nutrient cycling, is often used …

While the supply of freshwater is expected to decline in many regions in the coming
decades, invasive plant species, often 'high water spenders', are greatly expanding their …

Pests or pathogens that affect trees have the potential to fundamentally alter forest
composition, structure and function. Throughout the last six years, large areas of otherwise …

Tropical forests are becoming increasingly alien‐dominated through the establishment of
timber plantations and secondary forests. Despite widespread recognition that afforestation …

Context Non-native species invasions are altering the composition, structure, function, and
dynamics of forests globally. The Hawaiian Islands are a global biodiversity hotspot for non …

Invasive alien plants pose a threat to biodiversity in particular on oceanic islands, where
endemism tends to be high. In this context, it matters to characterise invasions in-situ and in …
