Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of
propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory …

Theoretical models predict that effects of dispersal on local biodiversity are influenced by the
size and composition of the species pool, as well as ecological filters that limit local species …

Species diversity in communities of interacting organisms is thought to be enhanced by
dispersal, yet mechanisms predicting this have little to say about what effects differing rates …

Assessing the legacy of plant invasions on resident plant communities requires a thorough
understanding of changes occurring in the aboveground vegetation as well as in the soil …

The restoration of invasion-resistant plant communities is an important strategy to combat
the negative impacts of alien invasions. Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of …

As we approach the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), there is renewed focus
on improving wetland restoration practices to reestablish the habitat and climate mitigation …

Introduced species, those dispersed outside their natural ranges by humans, now cause
almost all biological invasions, ie, entry of organisms into habitats with negative effects on …

Functional traits are frequently proposed to determine the invasiveness of alien species.
However, few empirical studies have directly manipulated functional traits and tested their …

Much of our current understanding of the impact of invasive species on plant communities is
based on patterns occurring in the above-ground vegetation, while only few studies have …

Several studies have presented experimental evidence that diversity reduces invasibility in
grassland communities. The interpretation of these results has been disputed recently and it …
