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

Schedules of survival, growth and reproduction are key life‐history traits. Data on how these
traits vary among species and populations are fundamental to our understanding of the …

One of the most studied emergent functions of plant community diversity is the resistance of
diverse communities to non‐native invasions. As emphasized in this Special Feature …

Ecosystem invasibility is determined by combinations of environmental variables, invader
attributes, disturbance regimes, competitive abilities of resident species and evolutionary …

Understanding effects of changes in ecological disturbance regimes on soil properties, and
capacity of soil properties to resist disturbance, is important for assessing ecological …

An understanding of the impacts of exotic plant species on ecosystems is necessary to justify
and guide efforts to limit their spread, restore natives, and plan for conservation. Invasive …

Demographic senescence, the decay in fertility and increase in the risk of mortality with age,
is one of the most striking phenomena in ecology and evolution. Comparative studies of …

The factors that determine plant community resistance to exotic annual Bromus species
(Bromus hereafter) are diverse and context specific. They are influenced by the …

Positive interactions enhance biodiversity and ecosystem function, but can also exacerbate
biological invasions. Facilitation of exotic invaders by exotic foundation species (invasional …

The modules of plants experience different levels of resources, and clonal plants can
integrate resource heterogeneity. However, no studies have tested whether the benefits of …
