DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64576-2
Abstract: Exotic plants can potentially modify ecosystem functions like cycling of nutrients by adjusting their decomposition rates. However, these effects are largely unknown for urban ecosystems, though they act as reservoirs of exotic plants. The present… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5916
Abstract: Native bees contribute a considerable portion of pollination services for endemic as well as introduced plant species. Their decline has been attributed to several human-derived influences including global warming as well as the reduction, alteration,… read more here.
