The 'known unknowns' of invasive species impact measurement

R Crystal-Ornelas, JL Lockwood - Biological Invasions, 2020 - Springer
There are thousands of case studies documenting invasive species' impacts and these have
led to the development of over 30 hypotheses that describe how invasions occur and their …

Environmental degradation by invasive alien plants in the anthropocene: challenges and prospects for sustainable restoration

PK Rai - Anthropocene Science, 2022 - Springer
Biodiversity, soil, air, and water are the vital life-supporting systems of this planet Earth.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi help explain invasion success of Solidago canadensis

LJ Dong, LN Ma, WM He - Applied Soil Ecology, 2021 - Elsevier
The importance of soil microbes as a whole has long been recognized in plant invasions, yet
