Community impacts of Prosopis juliflora invasion: biogeographic and congeneric comparisons.

PLoS ONE, 2012
We coordinated biogeographical comparisons of the impacts of an exotic invasive tree in its native and non-native ranges with a congeneric comparison in the non-native range. Prosopis juliflora is taxonomically complicated and with P. pallida forms the P.

Neutral interactions among non‐native plants are common

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 292-309, October 2026.
Global distribution of studies and overall effect of co‐invasion for all metrics of non‐native plant performance combined. Summary Globalization has accelerated the establishment of non‐native plant species, increasing the prevalence of multispecies co‐invasions; yet interactions among co‐invaders remain poorly understood.

Biochar Production From Invasive Alien Plants: A Pathway to Sustainable Biomass Management and Resource Recovery

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Across the world, invasive alien plants (IAPs) threaten biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and livelihoods. A potentially sustainable method for controlling IAPs is to convert their biomass into biochar, which reduces invasion pressure while producing useful products.

Temporal dynamics of soil quality under Prosopis juliflora afforestation in drylands

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Afforestation in drylands is an effective approach to mitigating soil degradation and erosion while promoting ecological restoration in disturbed ecosystems. This study evaluated the long‐term effects of Prosopis juliflora afforestation on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in Iranian drylands.
