DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01124-3
Abstract: Freshwater coastal wetlands provide numerous ecosystem services, including habitat, nutrient uptake, coastal stabilization, and aesthetic value, but the integrity of these ecosystems is threatened by invasion of non-native competitors. Invasive species, such as Phragmites and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.07.046
Abstract: Abstract Plant invasion is a major threat to natural ecosystems, and mangrove forests are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. However, since mangrove species primarily occur in the saline and intertidal environment that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ppees.2019.02.003
Abstract: Abstract It is well known that alien plant invasion modifies the composition and diversity of resident plant communities, yet our ability to predict patterns of vegetation responses to invasion is hampered by a poor understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aobpla/ply020
Abstract: We investigated the genetic diversity and origins of a long-term cultivar. Dyer’s woad has been used as a dye source for at least eight centuries in Eurasia. It was introduced to eastern USA in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16290
Abstract: Approximately 17% of the land worldwide is considered highly vulnerable to non‐native plant invasion, which can dramatically alter nutrient cycles and influence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in terrestrial and wetland ecosystems. However, a systematic investigation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1020621
Abstract: Invasive plants threaten biodiversity and cause huge economic losses. It is thought that global change factors (GCFs) associated with climate change (including shifts in temperature, precipitation, nitrogen, and atmospheric CO2) will amplify their impacts. However,… read more here.

No Support for the Neolithic Plant Invasion Hypothesis: Invasive Species From Eurasia Do Not Perform Better Under Agropastoral Disturbance in Early Life Stages Than Invaders From Other Continents

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.801750
Abstract: Pre-adaptation to disturbance is an important driver of biological invasions in human-altered ecosystems. Agropastoralism is one of the oldest forms of landscape management. It surged 12,000 years ago in Western Asia and it was then… read more here.
