Grasslands contribute greatly to biodiversity and human livelihoods; they support 70% of the
world's agricultural area, but are heavily degraded by human land use. Grassland …

Restoration ecology is a young academic field, but one with enough history to judge it
against past and current expectations of the science's potential. The practice of ecological …

Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment is driving global biodiversity decline and modifying
ecosystem functions. Theory suggests that plant functional types that fix atmospheric …

This paper considers key issues in plant invasion ecology, where findings published since
1990 have significantly improved our understanding of many aspects of invasions. The …

Few invaded ecosystems are free from habitat loss and disturbance, leading to uncertainty
whether dominant invasive species are driving community change or are passengers along …

Seeding is an important management tool in aridland restoration, but seeded species often
fail to establish. Previous research has largely focused on the technical aspects of seeding …

The dynamics of invasive species may depend on their abilities to compete for resources
and exploit disturbances relative to the abilities of native species. We test this hypothesis …

The classic reference on weeds and invasive plants has been revised and updated. The
Third Edition of this authoritative reference provides an in-depth understanding of how …

Exotic plant invasions present a global threat to natural ecosystems, yet the efficacy of
management efforts in mitigating invader impacts remains unclear. A rapidly emerging …

The ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of
species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has …
