Exotic species affect the biogeochemical pools and fluxes of materials and energy, thereby
altering the fundamental structure and function of their ecosystems. Rapidly accumulating …

Aim A major challenge for invasion ecology is to identify high‐impact invaders to guide
prioritization of management interventions. We argue that species with the potential to cause …

Globally, collapse of ecosystems—potentially irreversible change to ecosystem structure,
composition and function—imperils biodiversity, human health and well‐being. We examine …

Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively
recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This book …

Besides a general consensus regarding the negative impact of invasive alien species in the
literature, only recently has the decline of native species attributable to biological invasions …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …

Aim This study aimed to quantify changes in fire severity resulting from the invasion of
Australia's tropical savannas by the African grass Andropogon gayanus Kunth.(gamba …

Fire is a complex process involving interactions and feedbacks between biological,
socioeconomic, and physical drivers across multiple spatial and temporal scales. This …

Invasion by the African grass Andropogon gayanus is drastically altering the understory
structure of oligotrophic savannas in tropical Australia. We compared nitrogen (N) relations …

Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) has invaded extensive areas of arid and semi-arid
Australia following its introduction as a pasture species and for erosion control. It has been …
