Invasive plants are exotic species that escape control by native specialist enemies.
However, exotic plants may still be attacked by locally occurring generalist enemies, which …

Evidence suggests that increased nitrogen levels heighten exotic species' invasiveness and
reduce the competitive potential of native species. To reveal the impact of nitrogen …
