To test this, we grew 23 native (9 common, 14 rare) and 18 alien (8 common, 10 rare) herbaceous species in Switzerland from six plant families under nutrient-addition and competition treatments. Alien and common species achieved greater biomass than native and rare species did overall respectiv...

متن کامل(Non)native Language Teachers’ Cognitions: Are They Dichotomous?

In recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. The challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...

Traits that differ between invasive alien and native plant species are frequently interpreted as traits conferring invasiveness. However. such dilferences could reHect an introduction bias of alien species, particularly clllLivated ones, 01' hllman-medialed selection of cultivars of these species with certain traits.
