The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.

Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...
