DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3998
Abstract: Abstract Functional diversity metrics are increasingly used to augment or replace taxonomic diversity metrics to deliver more mechanistic insights into community structure and function. Metrics used to describe landscape structure and characteristics share many of… read more here.

Correlation of native and exotic species richness: a global meta‐analysis finds no invasion paradox across scales

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2552
Abstract: Abstract Support for the “biotic resistance hypothesis,” that species‐rich communities are more successful at resisting invasion by exotic species than are species‐poor communities, has long been debated. It has been argued that native–exotic richness relationships… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-018-1001-1
Abstract: Invasions by exotic plant species like Phragmites australis can affect wetlands and the services they provide, including denitrification. Native and exotic Phragmites strains were genetically verified in 2002 but few studies have compared their ecosystem… read more here.

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: 10.1071/wf19086
Abstract: Wildfires in the Valparaiso region (Chile) account for one of the main threats to local biodiversity, ecosystem services and infrastructure. This study focused on producing an initial record of thermo- and physicochemical properties of local… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.12420
Abstract: We tested whether the recently proposed two-part measure of degree of invasion (DI) of a community relating exotic proportion of cover to exotic proportion of richness can characterize patterns of plant invasions at multiple savannah… read more here.

Elevated carbon dioxide and warming impact silicon and phenolic‐based defences differently in native and exotic grasses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Global Change Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13971
Abstract: Global climate change may increase invasions of exotic plant species by directly promoting the success of invasive/exotic species or by reducing the competitive abilities of native species. Changes in plant chemistry, leading to altered susceptibility… read more here.

Disturbance maintains native and exotic plant species richness in invaded grassy woodlands

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12513
Abstract: Question Community invasion and dominance by exotic species can be abetted by disturbance and elevated nutrient levels. However, impacts of exotics on native species are often manifest through competition, suggesting disturbance or nutrient management could… read more here.

DOI: 10.3157/061.144.0204
Abstract: ABSTRACT Red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) grow in and adjacent to shallow brackish water in subtropical and tropical estuaries around the world, and provide a unique arboreal habitat, often completely isolated by water from any terrestrial… read more here.
