Modelling invasibility in endogenously oscillating tree populations: timing of invasion matters
Biological Invasions, 2009The timing of introduction of a new species into an ecosystem can be critical in determining the invasibility (i.e. the sensitivity to invasion) of a resident population. Here, we use an individual-based model to test how (1) the type of competition (symmetric versus asymmetric) and (2) seed masting influence the success of invasion by producing ...

Do Invasive Trees have a Hydraulic Advantage over Native Trees?
Biological Invasions, 2006The hypothesis was tested that invasive trees have hydraulic traits that contribute to their invasive nature. Five pairs of co-occurring invasive and native trees, in mesic habitats, were selected: (1) Tamarix ramosissima and Salix amygdaloides; (2) Robinia pseudoacacia and Alnus rhombifolia (3) Schinus terebinthifolius and Myrica cerifera; (4 ...

Tree Invasion of Cinnabar Park in Wyoming
American Midland Naturalist, 1978A recently published analysis of soil samples from Cinnabar Park in the Medicine Bow Mountains of Wyoming suggested that the meadow is migrating. The age structure and other characteristics of the adjacent forest vegetation evaluated in the present study support the view that one side of the park has been invaded by trees over the last century, but ...

Invasion of the continents: cyanobacterial crusts to tree-inhabiting arthropods
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005The colonization of continental environments (land and fresh water) has focused historically on a major event during the mid-Paleozoic Era characterized by the relatively sudden emergence of megascopic embryophytes, fungi, arthropods and tetrapods. A significant earlier phase of Precambrian (Archean and Proterozoic Eons) terrestrialization extends to ...

Effects of the control of an invasive tree on the structure of a plant–frugivore network
Ecological ApplicationsAbstractInvasive non‐native species are one of the main causes of degradation of ecosystems worldwide. The control of invasive species is key to reducing threats to ecosystem viability in the long term. Observations of structural changes in ecological interaction networks following invasive species suppression can be useful to monitor the success of ...

Invasive Species Series: Tree of Heaven
Tree of heaven is a highly invasive Asian tree that spreads quickly in Tennessee through huge seed crops and aggressive root sprouts, especially after soil disturbance. It forms dense thickets and can suppress other plants through allelopathy. Because cutting, mowing, or burning often triggers more sprouting, effective control focuses on killing the ...openaire +1 more source
Invasive Species Series: Princess Tree
Princess tree, or Paulownia, is a fast-growing ornamental introduced from Asia that produces millions of wind-blown seeds and can show up on forest edges and disturbed sites. Seedlings usually survive only on bare, low-microbe soils such as construction areas, road cuts, or hot burns, and the tree is often overtopped in forests and dies back.openaire +1 more source
