Invasive species affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, but their impacts along the
abundance gradient has been insufficiently recognized. Here we aimed to assess the …

Alien woody species are successful invaders, frequently used for afforestation in regions like
semi-arid lands. Shrubs and trees create important microhabitats in arid areas. Understorey …

Prunus serotina and Robinia pseudoacacia are the most widespread invasive trees in
Central Europe. In addition, according to climate models, decreased growth of many …

Chile is a global biodiversity hotspot and hosts a large proportion of the southern
hemisphere's temperate forests. The Chilean Valdivian temperate forest is a vulnerable …

Prunus serotina is one of the most widespread alien tree species in temperate European
forests. Although numerous studies revealed both negative and positive impacts on native …

Although invasive tree species pose a significant threat to biodiversity, their impact on
terricolous bryophytes has been insufficiently recognized. In addition, almost all previous …

The vegetation surrounding aquatic ecosystems contributes allochthonous sources of
organic matter to the water bodies. In Andean-Patagonian catchments, several non-native …

The introduction of non-native tree species for large-scale afforestation may alter the fire
regime of native ecosystems by modifying fuel proprieties. We quantified changes in fuel …

Biological invasions are one of the most important threats to biodiversity. However, spread
mechanisms have been described in detail only for some widespread taxa. Here, we aim to …

Natural plant communities are highly vulnerable to invasion by neighboring invasive
species. Understanding how litter influences invasive species establishment is essential for …
