Conflicting values: ecosystem services and invasive tree management
(Springer, 2014-01)
Tree species have been planted widely beyond their native ranges to provide or enhance ecosystem services such as timber and fibre produc- tion, erosion control, and aesthetic or amenity benefits. At the same time, ...
Rapid increase in growth and productivity can aid invasions by a non-native tree
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Large herbivore grazing and non-native plant invasions in montane grasslands of central Argentina
(Natural Areas Assoc, 2010-04)
Grazing by large herbivores has the potential to facilitate invasion of natural grasslands by non-native plant species. It is expected that both herbivore identity and plant community type modulate the effect. The objective ...
Genetic insights into the globally invasive and taxonomically problematic tree genus Prosopis
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Accurate taxonomic identification of alien species is crucial to detect new incursions, prevent or reduce the arrival of new
invaders and implement management options such as biological control. Globally, the taxonomy of ...
Analysis of an invasion in the community context: a case study about differences and similarities between native and non-native shrubs
(Springer, 2019-12)
Although much effort has been devoted to identify plant traits related to invasiveness, the success of this approach remains elusive, likely because the relevance of particular traits for invasions is context-dependent. ...
An analysis of publications on invasive macrophytes in aquatic ecosystems
(Regional Euro-asian Biological Invasions Centre-reabic, 2014-11-01)
In this study, we performed a scientometric analysis of published scientific papers on the biological invasion of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems to assess the main trends and gaps in research concerning this group ...
Non-redundancy in seed dispersal and germination by native and introduced frugivorous birds: implications of invasive bird impact on native plant communities
(Springer, 2018-12)
Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is important for the establishment of many fleshy-fruited plant species. Different frugivorous species can provide different seed dispersal services according to their specific dietary ...
Morphological differentiation in a common garden experiment among native and non-native specimens of the invasive weed yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis)
(Springer, 2012-07)
Understanding the differences between weedy and non-weedy plant populations is important because they may provide clues to genetic factors that create invasive species, as well as important insights into local adaptation. ...
Perception and use of non-native and invasive flora from sierras de Córdoba in central Argentina
(Sociedade Botanica do Brasil, 2019-04)
The perception, knowledge and use of non-native and invasive flora by social actors associated with protected areas in central Argentina were analyzed. Contemporary ethnoecology methods were followed. A total of 108 ...
