Invasive species, often recognized as ecosystem engineers, can dramatically alter
geomorphic processes and landforms. Our review shows that the biogeomorphic impacts of …

We present a systematic literature review of exotic understory forest herbaceous invasions
with a focus on the forests of East Asia (EAS) and Eastern North America (ENA), two …

Facilitation among species may promote non‐native plant invasions through alteration of
environmental conditions, enemies or mutualists. However, the role of non‐trophic indirect …

Seedling recruitment limitations create a demographic bottleneck that largely determines the
viability and structure of plant populations and communities, and pose a core restriction on …

Most research on dynamics and impacts of plant invasions has evaluated patterns and
effects over brief time periods (ie< 4 years). As such, little is known about the persistence of …

Plant–soil interactions have been proposed as a causative mechanism explaining how
invasive plant species impact ecosystem processes. We evaluate whether an invasive plant …

Although preventing introduction is the best way to avoid invasive species problems, the
dynamics of spread into new areas are not well understood. Invasive plant presence has …

While many ecosystems depend on fire to maintain biodiversity, non‐native plant invasions
can enhance fire intensity, suppressing native species and generating a fire–invasion …

Reclamation of highly disturbed lands typically includes establishing fast‐growing, non‐
native plants to achieve rapid ground cover for erosion control. Establishing native plant …

Plant invasions can alter the quality and quantity of detrital and root‐derived inputs entering
a system, thereby influencing the activities of microbial decomposers and affecting the soil …
