Non-native invasive species and novel ecosystems
Invasions by non-native species have caused many extinctions and greatly modified many ecosystems and are among the major anthropogenic global changes transforming the earth. Beginning in the mid-1980s, a dramatic burst of research in invasion biology has revealed a plethora of previously unrecognized impacts and laid bare the scope of the phenomenon. Similarly, research on various methods of m...
متن کاملFlowering phenology of invasive alien plant species compared with native species in three Mediterranean-type ecosystems.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flowering phenology is a potentially important component of success of alien species, since elevated fecundity may enhance invasiveness. The flowering patterns of invasive alien plant species and related natives were studied in three regions with Mediterranean-type climate: California, Spain and South Africa's Cape region. METHODS A total of 227 invasive-native pairs were ...
متن کاملpatterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment
although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
15 صفحه اولInvasive Species and Fire in California Ecosystems
nvasive plant species occur throughout all floristic regions of California, but their spatial extent, diversity, and impacts within these regions vary considerably. Alterations of natural disturbance regimes have made communities more susceptible to these invasions (Brooks et al. 2004). Fire is a natural and chronic disturbance in many California plant communities and has been observed to promo...
متن کاملPlant functional traits of dominant native and invasive species in mediterranean-climate ecosystems.
The idea that dominant invasive plant species outperform neighboring native species through higher rates of carbon assimilation and growth is supported by several analyses of global data sets. However, theory suggests that native and invasive species occurring in low-resource environments will be functionally similar, as environmental factors restrict the range of observed physiological and mor...
