Coastal nutrient enrichments facilitated reproductive output in exotic mangrove species over two decades

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Litterfall may facilitate the outperformance of exotic species by inducing better resource acquisition and reproductive performance. However, the drivers that determine litterfall patterns in exotic and native species have remained insufficiently ...

Non-native Species Introductions, Invasions, and Biotic Homogenization in the Atlantic Forest

, 2021
Anthropogenic introduction of non-native species has occurred since the first European colonization of South America in the 1500s, with the Atlantic Forest being the most heavily affected biome in the continent. Biological invasions, together with other anthropogenic pressures occurring over the subsequent 500 years, led to many biological changes such

Native and Invasive Woody Species Differentially Respond to Forest Edges and Forest Successional Age [PDF]

Forests, 2018
Forest fragmentation can promote non-native plant invasions by increasing invasive plant seed dispersal and resource availability along edges. These effects can vary based on forest age and may be influenced by differences in traits of native and invasive plant species.

Seed rain and soil seed banks limit native regeneration within urban forest restoration plantings in Hamilton City, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2012
Restoration of native forest vegetation in urban environments may be limited due to isolation from native seed sources and to the prevalence of exotic plant species.

Effect of Coriaria arborea on seed banks during primary succession on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2002
An experiment was conducted over two years to investigate the effect of Coriaria arborea, a native nitrogen-fixing shrub, on soil seed banks at sites representing a post-volcanic successional sequence on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand.

Impacts of invasive Chromolaena odorata on species richness, composition and seedling recruitment of Shorea robusta in a tropical Sal forest, Nepal [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2016
Chromolaena odorata is an invasive species known to have its adverse impacts on native diversity. We studied its impacts on plant species richness, composition and Shorea robusta seedlings in a tropical Sal forest of Nepal.

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]

, 2011
In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...

Remote sensing of invasive alien woody species in Uruguayan native forests

Agrociencia Uruguay, 2022
The invasion of ecosystems by exotic species has been identified as the second cause of biodiversity loss worldwide, and is one of the most difficult threats to reverse. In Uruguay, the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (IAS) has been identified as a serious environmental problem, becoming perhaps the greatest danger that native forests
