Increasing global aridity destabilizes shrub facilitation of exotic but not native plant species
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Earth’s dryland (hyper-arid, arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid) ecosystems face increasing aridity and invasion by exotic plant species. In concert, these global changes threaten the biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and economic viability of ...
