Non‐native tree (NNT) species have been transported worldwide to create or enhance
services that are fundamental for human well‐being, such as timber provision, erosion …

Aim Woody plants were not widely considered to be important invasive alien species until
fairly recently. Thousands of species of trees and shrubs have, however, been moved …

Background Biological invasions are a major ecological and socio-economic problem in
many parts of the world. Despite an explosion of research in recent decades, much remains …

Aim The biophysical impacts of invasive Australian acacias and their effects on ecosystem
services are explored and used to develop a framework for improved restoration practices …

Several major hypotheses have been proposed to explain and predict biological invasions,
but the general applicability of these hypotheses is largely unknown, as most of them have …

Aim We develop a framework for quantifying invasions based on lagged trends in invasions
('invasion debt') with the aim of identifying appropriate metrics to quantify delayed responses …

Herbert Baker arguably initiated the search for species characteristics determining alien
plant invasion success, with his formulation of the 'ideal weed'. Today, a profusion of studies …

Biological invasions are a global phenomenon that threatens biodiversity, and few, if any,
ecosystems are free from alien species. The outcome of human‐mediated introductions is …

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 …

Aim Australian acacias (1012 recognized species native to Australia, which were previously
grouped in Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae) have been moved extensively around the world …
