Many anthropic activities generate soil disturbances, favoring competitive, fast growing
invasive plant species at the expense of natives. Active restoration of invasion-resistant plant …

The restoration of invasion-resistant plant communities is an important strategy to combat
the negative impacts of alien invasions. Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of …

Invasion of alien species is one of the main drivers of land degradation threatening both
natural and managed ecosystems. Ecological restoration is crucial in controlling invasion to …

A challenge in many restoration projects, in particular when establishing de novo
communities, is the arrival and later dominance of invasive alien plants. This could …

Question Disturbed areas offer great opportunities for restoring native biodiversity, but they
are also prone to invasion by alien plants. Following the limiting similarity hypothesis, we …

Invasive non-native plants challenge ecosystems restoration, and understanding the factors
that determine the establishment of invasive plants is crucial to improve restoration …

Sowing native seeds is a common approach to reintroduce native plants to degraded
systems. However, this method is often overlooked in wetland restoration despite the …

The control of invasive species is a central topic of both applied and theoretical research.
Understanding how and which ecological theories can be used to improve invasion …

Invasive plant species often outcompete natives when colonizing new areas, but the
mechanisms behind their success are unclear. The limiting similarity hypothesis predicts that …

Community assembly theory is suggested as a guiding principle for ecological restoration to
