Long‐term and landscape impacts of buffel grass on arid plant communities: Ecosystem shifts and acceleration by fire

Ecosphere
Plant invasions drive biodiversity loss, transform ecosystems, and promote positive‐feedback cycles between invasion and fire. However, the long‐term impacts of invasive grasses across landscapes with diverse plant communities and interactions with fire ...

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

Ecology and Evolution
Fauna communities respond to exotic plant invasions through multiple pathways, including via changes to habitat structure and food resources and depending on the scale at which fauna access these resources.

Establishment patterns of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) at the microsite scale help explain saguaro regeneration and distributions in heterogenous, regional habitats. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Establishment of long‐lived perennial plants is a pivotal event that often leads to reproductive maturity. The population dynamics of the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) have been investigated over large spatial areas, but establishment patterns have not been studied at the microsite (1 m) scale.
