Soil seed bank and growth rates of an invasive species, Piper aduncum, in the lowlands of Papua New Guinea
Secondary fallow vegetation in parts of the Papua New Guinea lowlands is dominated by the shrub Piper aduncum L. that originates from South America. Here we report on its seed bank, growth rate and biomass accumulation. P. aduncum accounted for 69 % (408 m) of the seed bank in the forest and 53 % (1559 m) of the seed bank under fallow. About 90 % of the tree seed bank at the fallow site was dom...
متن کاملCosts of alien invasive species in Sweden.
The purpose of this paper is to present calculations of total costs of 13 alien invasive species (AIS) in Sweden. All species are subject to control by Swedish public authorities, and estimates for most AIS include either damage cost or actual control cost. The results indicate a total annual cost between approximately 1620 and 5080 million SEK, which correspond to SEK 175 and SEK 565 per capit...
متن کاملPiper aduncum Fallows in the Lowlands of Papua New Guinea
rimary forest covers about 75% of Papua New Guinea. Every year about 200,000 ha are cleared for commercial operations, including logging, plantations, and subsistence agriculture. The latter mainly takes the form of shifting cultivation. In many parts of the humid lowlands, secondary fallow vegetation is dominated by the shrub Piper aduncum L (see color plate 20). It is not known exactly when a...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats
The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...
متن کاملEcological niche modeling of invasive alien plant species in a protected landscape
Non-native plants that can cause adverse effects are otherwise known as invasive alien plant species which pose a major threat to plant biodiversity conservation and sustainability. This study is dedicated to determine the plant diversity and to assess the vulnerability of Quezon Protected Landscape, Southern Luzon, the Philippines to invasive alien plant species. Data from 90 10x10 m randomly ...
