The fluctuating resource hypothesis explains invasibility, but not exotic advantage following disturbance [PDF]
Ecology, 2018 Invasibility is a key indicator of community susceptibility to changes in structure and function. The fluctuating resource hypothesis (FRH) postulates that invasibility is an emergent community property, a manifestation of multiple processes that cannot ...

Ecological Effects of Solanum rostratum Invasion on the Diversity and Functional Traits of Native Plant Communities [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSevere invasion by invasive plants can reduce the diversity of native plants, thereby limiting the functional diversity of ecosystems and threatening their stability in the invaded areas.

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

Trait-based approaches to restoration ecology: Synthesizing insights from diverse systems. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Under accelerating global change, trait‐based approaches are emerging as essential tools in the ecological restoration toolbox. Where restoration has traditionally focused on the recovery of focal species in isolated systems, trait‐based methods can provide a common language that extends beyond species‐ or system‐specific contexts, allowing ...

Invasibility of Common Plant Community Types of the Middle Urals
Diversity, 2023 This paper specifies the invasibility of common plant community types in the natural habitats of the Middle Urals. Invasibility was defined as the vulnerability of a community to alien plant species invasions, regardless of the conditions in which the ...

A weed risk analytical screen to assist in the prioritisation of an invasive flora for containment [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2021 Prioritising weeds for control and deciding upon the type of control and its associated investment are fundamental to weed management planning. Risk analysis is central to this process, combining the activities of risk assessment, risk management and ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 The relationship between biological diversity and community invasibility is a central theme in ecological research. It is often assumed that such relationship is negative at small scales but positive at large scales, with a shift of the major driving ...

Disentangling invasiveness and invasibility during invasion in synthesized grassland communities [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 • An experiment with synthesized grassland communities was performed to identify plant traits that contribute to invasiveness and community traits that promote invasibility, and to study the relationship between, and the relative importance of, invasiveness and invasibility.

Native plant community characteristics explain alien species success in post-industrial vegetation [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 Biological invasions are one of the major challenges to the restoration of post-mining sites. Most post-mining sites are under technical reclamation with only a few left to spontaneous vegetation processes.
