Plants can change soil biology, chemistry and structure in ways that alter subsequent plant
growth. This process, referred to as plant–soil feedback (PSF), has been suggested to …

Alien microbes, fungi, plants and animals occur on most of the sub-Antarctic islands and
some parts of the Antarctic continent. These have arrived over approximately the last two …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 677–689 Abstract Although some organisms have moved to
higher elevations and latitudes in response to recent climate change, there is little …

Any organism must be equipped for life in a given environment, otherwise it will die. The
fundamental question is how well does an organism need to be “equipped”, or what …

The classic reference on weeds and invasive plants has been revised and updated. The
Third Edition of this authoritative reference provides an in-depth understanding of how …

The factors that promote invasive behavior in introduced plant species occur across many
scales of biological and ecological organization. Factors that act at relatively small scales …

The question 'what renders a species extinction prone'is crucial to biologists. Ecological
specialization has been suggested as a major constraint impeding the response of species …

Invasion science is a very active subdiscipline of ecology. However, some scientists contend
that theoretical integration has been limited and that predictive power remains weak. This …

Habitats vary considerably in the level of invasion (number or proportion of alien plant
species they contain), which depends on local habitat properties, propagule pressure, and …

Despite some progress, a predictive framework for predicting invasiveness remains illusive,
except for the fact that being invasive elsewhere, having a broad native range, and …
