Most plants require mutualistic associa- tions to survive, which can be an important limitation on their ability to become invasive. There are four strategies that permit plants to become invasive without being limited ...

This study evaluates the idea that differences in reproductive phenology and traits between coexisting exotic and native species may promote exotic invasiveness. Reproductive phenology, proportions of flowers setting unripe ...

Questions Islands harbour a disproportionate amount of global plant diversity, yet their unique native assemblages are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. It is therefore critical to identify the macroecological ...

Aim: Invasive species have the potential to alter hydrological processes by changing the 7 local water balance. However, general patterns of how rainfall is partitioned into 8 interception, throughfall and stemflow for ...

Coastal dune grasslands are fragile ecosystems that have historically been subjected to various types of uses and human activities. In Buenos Aires Province (Argentina), these areas are frequently afforested for urban and ...

It has been frequently recognised that there is a positive feedback between plant invasion and fire underlying invasion success in fire-prone ecosystems. Accordingly, the response of woody alien species germination to fire ...

To help determine the major factors associated with alien plant in a newly invaded mountain range; we analyzed the distribution patterns of woody alien species along the altitudinal gradient of the Córdoba mountains, in ...
