Effect of a native tree on seedling establishment of two exotic invasive species in a semiarid ecosystem
(2011)
Theory predicts that in more stressful environments, positive plant-plant interactions should be more important than negative ones. For instance, in arid and semiarid regions, amelioration of soil drought produced by the ...
Ungulates can control tree invasions: experimental evidence from nonnative conifers and sheep herbivory
(Springer, 2017-09)
Invasive conifer species are increasingly recognized as a serious problem in many parts of the world, where they are having large ecological and economic impacts. Understanding factors that trigger and can control invasion ...
Site-specific reproductive performance of an invasive fleshy-fruited tree in remnant grasslands of the Argentinean Pampas
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-12)
Prunus mahaleb (Saint Lucie´s cherry) is a fleshy-fruited small rosaceous tree, native to the Mediterranean region that has been extensively used as a rootstock species for commercial orchard trees. It has been widely ...
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world : progress and challenges
(2017-06)
Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible and easy to eliminate. Many Pinaceae ...
Pine invasion impacts on plant diversity in Patagonia: invader size and invaded habitat matter
(Springer, 2016-12)
Conifers, which are widely planted as fast growing tree crops, are invading forested and treeless environments across the globe, causing importantchanges in biodiversity. However, how small-scale impacts on plant diversity ...
Comparative analysis of leaf-litter decomposition from the native Pouteria salicifolia and the exotic invasive Ligustrum lucidum in a lowland stream (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2013-12)
We compared loss in leaf mass and chemical changes (concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, acid detergent fiber, lignin and phenolic compounds) during the decay of submersed leaf-litter of the native Pouteria ...
Biological invasions in South Africa
South Africa has played an outsize role in the history of biological invasions and the
development of an invasion science to understand and mitigate their impacts.
Containing a large region with temperate climate, South ...
Invasion of Celtis tala forests by Ligustrum lucidum in Argentina: impact on soil properties and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi community
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2021-09)
The arrival of invasive plants can cause drastic changes to ecosystems, such as the displacement of native plant communities and the disruption of ecological functions. Ligustrum lucidum is an invasive tree species that ...
Non-native pines are homogenizing the ecosystems of South America
(Springer, 2018)
A large area previously dominated by native ecosystems in South America is now covered by monocultures of non-native tree species, mainly of the genus Pinus. Currently, pine plantations and the invasions that have been ...
Invasion Science and the Global Spread of SARS-CoV-2
(Elsevier Science London, 2020-08-01)
Emerging infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are driven by ecological and socioeconomic factors, and their rapid spread and devastating impacts mirror those of invasive species. Collaborations ...
