Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

In California's Changing Climate, Latent Pathogens Drive Novel Woody Plant Diebacks on a Large Geographic Scale

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2697-2714, December 2025.
Novel plant diebacks are emerging in association with reoccurring droughts in California. Field isolations and greenhouse trials show that latent pathogens and drought together, and not drought alone, cause the most severe diebacks. ABSTRACT The detection of emergent biotic and abiotic threats to plant health is challenging in an interconnected world ...

Estimating Invasion Success by Non-Native Trees in a National Park Combining WorldView-2 Very High Resolution Satellite Data and Species Distribution Models

open access: yesDiversity, 2017
Invasion by non-native tree species is an environmental and societal challenge requiring predictive tools to assess invasion dynamics. The frequent scale mismatch between such tools and on-ground conservation is currently limiting invasion management ...

Effects of aging, climatic, physical factors, and site on quality parameters of the bark of black wattle (Acacia mearnsii de Wild.)

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1931-1947, November/December 2025.
Abstract Black wattle (Acacia mearnsii De Wild.) is a key tree crop in South Africa, valued for its bark and timber, both of which contribute significantly to export revenue. Wattle bark harvesting begins with the rainy season in September and extends to May. During this time, harvested bark is transported to three processing facilities.

Soil community structure across native and exotic forests is shaped by edaphoclimatic conditions and eukaryotic biomarkers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 3128-3141, November 2025.
Our results point to the importance of taking management decisions for these forests considering regional conditions as well as forest type. The provided list of soil keystone taxa should be taken into account in future research and soil monitoring, which is essential for sustainable management of land.

Papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon

open access: yes, 2006
The pulping and papermaking potential of Acacia dealbata and Acacia melanoxylon were studied using Eucalyptus globulus as a reference. Pulp yield, alkali consumption and delignification in the kraft process, of both species, compare very well with the reference.

Effects of Acacia dealbata Invasion and Removal on Soil and Vegetation in Communal Grasslands in Eastern Cape, South Africa

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Acacia dealbata has invaded South African grasslands, yet few studies have assessed its invasion and clearing effects on grasslands. We assessed the soil (moisture, repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity) and vegetation (diversity, composition and cover) impacts of A.

Moisture and Species Effect on Water Colour Generation in an Australian Temperate Forested Catchment

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 6, September 2025.
ABSTRACT South‐eastern Australian forested catchments supply most of Melbourne's drinking water, and discoloured water poses significant challenges for authorities because of the need for complex and costly treatment procedures. Identifying the sources and mechanisms of colour production is therefore critical.
