Characteristics of successful alien plants.
Herbert Baker arguably initiated the search for species characteristics determining alien plant invasion success, with his formulation of the 'ideal weed'. Today, a profusion of studies has tested a myriad of traits for their importance in explaining success of alien plants, but the multiple, not always appropriate, approaches used have led to some confusion and criticism. We argue that a great...
متن کاملEffects of Alien Plants on Native Ecosystems*
Invasions by alien plants can change the large-scale functioning of native ecosystems and alter the population dynamics and community structure of native species. Such ecosystem-level changes affect the ways local systems interact with surrounding ecosystems, with downstream ecosystems and groundwater, and with the atmosphere. Large-scale changes in ecosystems caused by biological invasions rep...
متن کاملIntegrated control of invasive alien plants in terrestrial ecosystems
Effective management of invading alien plants in natural and semi-natural systems is imperative if we are to prevent enormous impacts. An integrated approach involving the combined use of a range of methods is usually necessary to control invasive alien plants effectively. The various methods that are available are usually classified as: mechanical methods (felling, removing of invading alien p...
متن کاملImpact of Alien Plants on Hawaiis Native Biota
Over 4,600 species of plants have been introduced into the Hawaiian Islands over the last 200 years. Only 86, less than 2% of the total, have become serious pests of native ecosystems. Of these, the most significant are Andropogon virginicus. Clidemia hirta, Lantana camara, Leucaena leucocephala, Melinis minutiflora, Myrica faya, Passiflora mollissima, Pennisetum clandestinum, P. setaceum, Psid...
متن کاملHow Do Alien Plants Fit in the Space-Phylogeny Matrix?
Recent advances in the field of plant community phylogenetics and invasion phylogenetics are mostly based on plot-level data, which do not take into consideration the spatial arrangement of individual plants within the plot. Here we use within-plot plant coordinates to investigate the link between the physical distance separating plants, and their phylogenetic relatedness. We look at two vegeta...
