ABSTRACT Aim Climate warming, human modification and global connectivity are eroding the abiotic barriers (i.e., climatic filtering and low propagule pressure) that have traditionally limited the spread of non‐native species in mountain ecosystems. Meanwhile, these global changes are also reshaping native plant communities, potentially weakening their ...

Site‐specific climate responses of soil decomposer biodiversity in forests
Abstract Climate change strongly impacts forest ecosystems, exacerbating drought stress, tree mortality, and shifts in species composition. While aboveground changes are well documented, belowground biodiversity and its response to climate‐driven alterations remain less studied.

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Management of invasive alien plants in forests: A global perspective
This review exposes urgent and critical knowledge gaps in forest IAP management, which need addressing to meet global targets for biodiversity and forest health. These gaps include highly uneven global research effort, narrow species focus, limited method replication, overlooked seasonal effects, and inconsistent cost reporting.

Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Native and Indigenous Biocontrols for Ailanthus altissima [PDF]
Ailanthus altissima is one of the top invasive weed trees in North America. Native and indigenous biocontrols consisting of insects and fungi were found in a unique series of interactions in Maryland and Pennsylvania. The insects are Aculops ailanthii,
