Aim Potassium (K) is the second most abundant nutrient in plant photosynthetic tissues after
nitrogen (N). Thousands of physiological and metabolic studies in recent decades have …

Invasive alien plant species threaten native biodiversity, disrupt ecosystem functions and
can cause large economic damage. Plant invasions have been predicted to further increase …

Plant diversity and biogeochemical cycles are rapidly changing in response to exotic plant
species invasion. However, there are conflicting conclusions regarding the quantification of …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1

Invasions by alien plants provide a unique opportunity to examine competitive interactions
among plants. While resource competition has long been regarded as a major mechanism …

This study examined the literature in ISI Web of Science to identify the effects that the main
drivers of global change have on the nutrient concentrations and C: N: P stoichiometry of …

Exotic species affect the biogeochemical pools and fluxes of materials and energy, thereby
altering the fundamental structure and function of their ecosystems. Rapidly accumulating …
