Impacts of invasive alien N2‐fixing woody species and how they can persist as soil legacy
effects after invasive species control are well appreciated, but how soil legacy effects can …

Forest-grassland mosaics are widespread features at the interface between tree-and grass-
dominated ecosystems. However, the importance of habitat heterogeneity in these mosaics …

Plant communities in abiotically stressful, or 'harsh', habitats have been reported to be less
invaded by non-native species than those in more moderate habitats. Here, we synthesize …

Levels of plant invasions in different habitat types were assessed in several regional studies,
but few of them were from the Mediterranean. Here we compare the levels of vascular plant …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition greatly affects grassland soil respiration (Rs) and its
components. However, whether there exists a similar pattern in the response of Rs and its …

Abstract Comparison of spontaneous revegetation and forestry reclamation can provide
valuable information about the trajectories and rate of vegetation development applicable to …

Restoration of agricultural drylands globally, here farmlands and grazing lands, is a priority
for ecosystem function and biodiversity preservation. Natural areas in drylands are …

To help upscale ecological restoration of degraded lands, landscape factors and longer time
scales should be considered when assessing restoration efforts. We evaluated the impact of …

Invasive species are among the main threats to grassland biodiversity, and nature
conservation management seeks the best methods to eliminate them and to restore natural …

The application of a filter‐based assembly model is a promising concept to support
ecological restoration. The filters illustrate dispersal, abiotic and biotic constraints that …
