The space-for-time substitution assumption is often used implicitly for studying ecological
processes in static spatial data sets. Since ecological processes occur in time, this practice …

Biological invasions have been unambiguously shown to be one of the major global causes
of biodiversity loss. Despite the magnitude of this threat and recent scientific advances, this …

There are thousands of case studies documenting invasive species' impacts and these have
led to the development of over 30 hypotheses that describe how invasions occur and their …

Invasive species are considered to be a leading cause of the decline of threatened species.
However, this view has been disputed because much of the evidence base is anecdotal …

Chinese forests, characterized by relatively young stand age, represent a significant
biomass carbon (C) sink over the past several decades. Nevertheless, it is unclear how …

Biological invasions are widely acknowledged as a major threat to global biodiversity.
Species from all major taxonomic groups have become invasive. The range of impacts of …

Biological invasions are a major driver of ecosystem change but causes of variation in their
environmental impacts over space and time remain poorly understood. Most approaches …

Human alteration of the global environment is leading to a pervasive loss of biodiversity.
Most studies evaluating human impacts on biodiversity occur after the disturbance has taken …

While reducing the species richness of invaded communities is a well‐known consequence
of biological invasions, non‐native species can also reduce variability between communities …

Climate change and the intensification of land use practices are causing widespread
eutrophication of subarctic lakes. The implications of this rapid change for lake ecosystem …
