DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02602-8
Abstract: The factors that determine patterns of non-native species richness and abundance are context dependent in both time and space. Global change has significantly boosted plant invasions in mountains, therefore, understanding which factors determine the invasion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16211
Abstract: Theory and experiments support that plant invasions largely impact aboveground biodiversity and function. Yet, much less is known on the influence of plant invasions on the structure and function of the soil microbiome of coastal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.08443
Abstract: Numerous pressures influence the ecological capacity and health of drylands globally. Shrubs are often a critical component of these systems and can function positively as foundation species through facilitation of other species. Nonetheless, limited attention… read more here.

DOI: 10.3375/0885-8608-43.2.108
Abstract: ABSTRACT Plant invasions are generally associated with lower biodiversity and ecosystem function, but the impacts of plant invasions on species richness are often scale-dependent. Like species richness, metrics of community structure and quality likely differ… read more here.
