Background and Aims Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions,
with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems …

Summary 1 Government departments, environmental managers and conservationists are all
facing escalating pressure to address and resolve a diversity of invasive alien species (IAS) …

This article reviews and summarizes data sets that attempt to compare performance,
population dynamics, and herbivory of invasive plant species. Specifically, we review results …

Grazing is one of the most important factors influencing community structure and productivity
in natural grasslands. Fencing to exclude grazers is one of the main management practices …

Summary 1 Biological invasion can permanently alter ecosystem structure and function.
Invasive species are difficult to eradicate, so methods for constraining invasions would be …

Grazing is widely regarded as a critical factor affecting the vegetation community structure,
productivity and nutritional value of natural grasslands. To protect and restore degraded …

Alien plant invasions result from a complex interaction between the species life traits (ie
'invasiveness') and the recipient ecosystem attributes (ie 'invasibility'). However, little is …

1. In Australia, biological control is a promising long-term management strategy for the
woody weed mimosa Mimosa pigra but does not yet provide adequate control. Other …

The enemy release hypothesis (ERH), which has been the theoretical basis for classic
biological control, predicts that the success of invaders in the introduced range is due to their …

Executive summary Alien species (weeds and pest animals) are acknowledged as the
second greatest cause of biodiversity decline, after habitat loss. Despite this, there is a lack …
