Chemical Control of the Invasive Tree Ailanthus altissima

Agriculture
Many natural areas are colonised by the invasive species Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle. Its presence in natural ecosystems damages the ecological richness while competing with native flora. A. altissima is one of the most widespread weed species in

Mycorrhizal symbiosis of alien and invasive tree species [PDF]

Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2020
The introduction of alien tree species has become a world wide phenomenon over the last centuries and the cultivation of these species is an economically important branch of forestry in many countries.

Tree invasions in Italian forests

Forest Ecology and Management, 2022
Many forest tree species have been moved outside their native range to provide goods and services elsewhere, but some of them have become invasive, causing negative impacts on biodiversity and human activities. The assessment and knowledge on the degree and scale to which forest ecosystems are invaded by non-native trees is of paramount importance for ...

Global pine tree invasions are linked to invasive root symbionts

New Phytologist, 2022
Symbiotic soil microbes can facilitate plant invasions, yet it is unclear whether the invasive capacity of plants can be explained by the invasiveness of their microbial symbionts. We compiled a global database of one of the most widespread invasive non-native species on Earth ? pine trees and their major fungal symbionts, ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) ?

Tree diversity regulates forest pest invasion [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
Nonnative pests often cause cascading ecological impacts, leading to detrimental socioeconomic consequences; however, how plant diversity may influence insect and disease invasions remains unclear. High species diversity in host communities may promote pest invasions by providing more niches (i.e., facilitation), but it can also diminish invasion ...

Evolutionary dynamics of tree invasions: complementing the unified framework for biological invasions [PDF]

AoB Plants, 2016
Evolutionary processes greatly impact the outcomes of biological invasions. An extensive body of research suggests that invasive populations often undergo phenotypic and ecological divergence from their native sources. Evolution also operates at different and distinct stages during the invasion process. Thus, it is important to incorporate evolutionary

Underexplored and growing economic costs of invasive alien trees

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThe high ecological impacts of many invasive alien trees have been well documented. However, to date, we lacked synthesis of their economic impacts, hampering management actions. Here, we summarize the cost records of invasive trees to (I) identify invasive trees with cost information and their geographic locations, (II) investigate the types ...

Invasion percolation on a tree and queueing models [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2009
We study the properties of the Barabási model of queuing [A.-L. Barabási, Nature (London) 435, 207 (2005); J. G. Oliveira and A.-L. Barabási, Nature (London) 437, 1251 (2005)] in the hypothesis that the number of tasks grows with time steadily. Our analytical approach is based on two ingredients.

Diets of invasive channel catfish are subsidized by invasive riparian trees

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 2023
AbstractRussian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) is an invasive, fruit‐bearing riparian tree that dominates riparian zones of the San Juan River in the southwestern United States. Previous research in this river suggests olive fruit is common in diets of invasive channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), but its energetic importance is unknown (i.e ...

Invasion percolation on Galton-Watson trees

Electronic Journal of Probability, 2019
We consider invasion percolation on Galton-Watson trees. On almost every Galton-Watson tree, the invasion cluster almost surely contains only one infinite path. This means that for almost every Galton-Watson tree, invasion percolation induces a probability measure on infinite paths from the root.
