Ecology and geomorphology recognize the dynamic aspects of resistance and resilience.
However, formal resilience theory in ecology has tended to deemphasize the geomorphic …

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) predicts a hump-shaped pattern between

Recent studies have concluded that release from native soil pathogens may explain
invasion of exotic plant species. However, release from soil enemies does not explain all …

The Natural Enemies Hypothesis (ie, introduced species experience release from their
natural enemies) is a common explanation for why invasive species are so successful. We …

The invasion of non-indigenous plant species poses a severe threat to native plant
communities. Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is a naturalized European biennial herb that …

Invasive plants may compete with native plants by increasing the pressure of native
consumers, a mechanism known as “apparent competition.” Apparent competition can be as …

Summary 1 The initiation of an invasion event is rarely dated in studies of alien plants. Data
from aerial photographs documenting the invasion from the outset facilitate the quantification …

Invasive plants generally have fewer aboveground pathogens and viruses in their
