The increasing frequency of extreme droughts poses significant challenges for predicting the
invasion success (or failure) of non-native plant species. While current frameworks are …

Plants inhabit stressful environments characterized by a variety of stressors, including mine
sites, mountains, deserts, and high latitudes. Populations from stressful and reference (non …

Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis posits that species-rich communities are more resistant
to invasion. However, it remains unknown how species, phylogenetic and functional …

Niche theory has been widely used in ecology; however, few studies have attempted to
combine information on functional and ecological niches (ie, variation in traits and …

Low community stability and sustainability, accompanied by high maintenance cost was an
important ecological problem in planted herbaceous communities in many cities …

Predicting the impact of grazing on desert steppes' vegetation is crucial for sustainable
management. The competitor, stress-tolerator and ruderal (CSR) theory has offer valuable …

The eradication of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) is mandatory worldwide, but the
resulting biomass is still considered waste. The energy use of biomasses obtained from …

Background and aims Heavy metal (especially for potentially toxic element) contamination in
soil has frequently been associated with plant invasion. However, the mechanisms …

Plants may modify soil biogeochemical properties that facilitate their invasion of new sites
which may be mediated by soil microorganisms. We compared microbially-mediated soil …

Human factors and plant characteristics are important drivers of plant invasions, which
threaten ecosystem integrity, biodiversity and human well-being. However, while previous …
