The persistence of invasive plant species in soil seedbanks can pose a significant obstacle
to effectively managing invasive plant populations. Rhamnus cathartica (common buckthorn …

The invasive plant Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) has spread throughout forest understory
and edge communities in much of North America, but its persistence, density, and impacts …

Community structure depends jointly on species' responses to, and effects on,
environmental factors. Many such factors, including detritus, are studied in ecosystem …

The association between invasive plants and disturbance is well-documented. Most forest
management regimes include disturbance (ie, harvesting and fire) to improve regeneration …

Premise Digitized collections can help illuminate the mechanisms behind the establishment
and spread of invasive plants. These databases provide a record of traits in space and time …

Invasive plant species are nonnatives that have spread from their introduction sites and
frequently have negative effects on native plants and natural ecosystems. In this chapter …

In second-growth forest the abundance and diversity of non-native plant species often differ
considerably with stand age and the history of disturbance. To understand the role of …

Invasive nonindigenous species pose a serious threat to native biodiversity and ecosystem
functioning. Understanding how species' performance varies under conditions in the current …

There are many field guides available about invasive plants and their identification. The
purpose of this field guide is to give a brief scientific synthesis of what is known about the …
