Processes that drive plant invasions play out across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Understanding individual steps along the introduction-naturalization-invasion continuum …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Positive interactions enhance biodiversity and ecosystem function, but can also exacerbate
biological invasions. Facilitation of exotic invaders by exotic foundation species (invasional …

In steep landscapes, wildfire‐induced changes to soil and vegetation can lead to extreme
and hazardous geomorphic responses, including debris flows. The wildfire‐induced …

Context Trophic cascade theory predicts that predators indirectly benefit plants by limiting
herbivore consumption. As humans have removed large predators from most terrestrial …

Abstract Vegetation Fractional Cover (VFC) is an important indicator of the condition of the
terrestrial surface of the Earth. The dynamics of bare soil (BS), non-photosynthetic …

Dryland degradation is a global problem, destabilizing ecosystems and disrupting coupled
human‐natural systems in arid regions. Degradation, caused by livestock grazing, wildfire …

Aim Global change has spurred the escalation of megafires in California over the last 20
years throughout a variety of ecosystems. Here, we examine the spatial distribution of …

Climate change is likely to influence competitive interactions between native and non-native
plant species by altering soil resource availability. The objective of this study was to …

Context Exotic annual grasses are transforming native arid and semi-arid ecosystems
globally by accelerating fire cycles that drive vegetation state changes. Cheatgrass (Bromus …
