Effects 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 کاملBiogeographic effects on early establishment of an invasive alien plant.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Biotic resistance is often studied in the context of how interactions between native biota and invading species influence the success of those invaders. Seldom, however, is the strength of "resistance" compared biogeographically, where the ability of a species to impede invader establishment is contrasted between an invader's native and introduced recipient community. MET...
متن کاملModelling Hotspots for Invasive Alien Plants in India
Identification of invasion hotspots that support multiple invasive alien species (IAS) is a pre-requisite for control and management of invasion. However, till recently it remained a methodological challenge to precisely determine such invasive hotspots. We identified the hotspots of alien species invasion in India through Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) using species occurrence data from the ...
متن کاملEffects of invasive plants on arthropods.
Non-native plants have invaded nearly all ecosystems and represent a major component of global ecological change. Plant invasions frequently change the composition and structure of vegetation communities, which can alter animal communities and ecosystem processes. We reviewed 87 articles published in the peer-reviewed literature to evaluate responses of arthropod communities and functional grou...
