Despite growing recognition of the conservation values of grassy biomes, our understanding
of how to maintain and restore biodiverse tropical grasslands (including savannas and open …

Aim A major challenge for invasion ecology is to identify high‐impact invaders to guide
prioritization of management interventions. We argue that species with the potential to cause …

Extreme wildfire events in recent years are shaking our established knowledge of how fire
regimes respond to climate variables and how societies need to react to fire impacts. Albeit …

Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively
recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This book …

The level of understanding of the ecological effects of fires has improved over the past
century, but comprehensive information on the practical application of fire remains restricted …

In 2050, most areas of biodiversity significance will be heavily influenced by multiple drivers
of environmental change. This includes overlap with the introduced ranges of many alien …

Invasive species can cause shifts in vegetation composition and fire regimes by initiating
positive vegetation-fire feedbacks. To understand the mechanisms underpinning these …

Tropical dry forests (TDF) are among the most‐threatened terrestrial ecosystems,
experiencing ongoing conversion to agricultural fields, pasture, and human settlements …

Fire is a key driver of natural ecosystems in Africa. However, human activity and climate
change have altered fire frequency and severity, with negative consequences for …

Our understanding of the link between plant functional traits and ecological impact of
invasive alien plant species is fragmentary and the mechanisms leading to impacts are …
