Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to
control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible …

Biological invasions are a major driver of ecosystem change but causes of variation in their
environmental impacts over space and time remain poorly understood. Most approaches …

Following the removal of invasive plant species, most land managers rely on natural
succession to re‐establish native plant communities. However, insufficient native propagule …

Removing wilding conifers (invasive non-native trees in the Pinaceae) has become a major
focus of conservation and land management in Aotearoa New Zealand. Management of …

The removal of nonnative species can lead to re-invasion by nonnative species, especially
in communities with multiple co-occurring invaders. Biotic and abiotic conditions shape …

Invasive exotic tree and shrub species (woody weeds) form dense, monospecific stands in
many areas of New Zealand. At some sites, the weed dies out naturally and is replaced by …

Invasion by non-native woody species into largely treeless vegetation such as grasslands
and shrublands is widespread, and has prompted both research and management in …

The desire for ecosystem restoration and native forest expansion is growing internationally.
Transitional forestry, where an exotic plantation forest is transitioned to a native forest, is a …

Background: Landslides can cause substantial environmental, social and economic impacts.
Under future climate scenarios the frequency of landslide-triggering events is likely to …

Benefits of invasive species management for terrestrial biodiversity are widely expected and
promoted in New Zealand. Evidence for this is presented in policy and scientific reviews of …
