Biodiversity of Native Forest Types in Strict Scientific Forest Reserves of the Moscow Region
AbstractA dataset of relevés for native forest types, including spruce, pine, and broad-leaved forests was created as a result of route surveys of...
-
Comparing long-term patterns of spread of native and invasive plants in a successional forest
A fundamental question in invasive plant ecology is whether invasive and native plants have different ecological roles. Differences in functional...

Structure of dung beetle assemblages (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in native forest and exotic pastures in the Southwest of the Brazilian Amazon
The implementation of exotic pastures is responsible for significant deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The pasturelands in the Amazon are...

Forest roads regulate native and exotic species diversity and adjacent soil properties in Lawachara National Park, Bangladesh
The biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems are altered by forest roads, which influence the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light...

Replacement of native trees by the neotropical invasive tree Cedrela odorata L. in the Kimboza Forest Reserve, Tanzania
The last remnants of lowland forests in eastern Africa are biodiversity hotspots as they host a unique set of endemic animal and plant species....

Local and landscape contrasts of the occurrence of native and invasive marmosets in the Atlantic forest biome
Habitat loss, fragmentation and invasive species are the major causes of biodiversity loss. In the Atlantic Forest, Callithrix aurita is threatened...

Exotic-to-native affinities and plant invasibility in a tropical dry forest
Conflicting hypotheses regarding the factors underlying the invasibility of plant species persist, as portrayed by Darwin’s naturalization conundrum....

Biochar application for enhancing water and nitrogen use efficiency of understory acacia species in a suburban native forest subjected to nitrogen deposition in Southeast Queensland
PurposeThe fuel reduction prescribed burning and biochar application can have significant impacts on water and nitrogen (N) use efficiency of...

Native bamboo increases biotic resistance to Pinus contorta invasion in temperate forest ecosystems
One of the tree species with the greatest invasive potential worldwide is Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loundon, which is characterized by producing a...
-
Variable effects of forest diversity on invasions by non-native insects and pathogens
The geographical distributions of non-native forest insects and pathogens (pests) result from a multitude of interacting abiotic and biotic factors....
-
Weak responses of soil microorganisms to leaf litter inputs after native Phyllostachys edulis invasion into adjacent native forests
AimsMoso bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubescens ) invasions into native forest cause a series of ecological problems, including the alteration of soil...

Timber Production Opportunities from Private Native Forests in Southern Queensland
Historically, Queensland’s private native forests have supplied between 40 and 70% of the hardwood resource to the state’s primary processors....
-
Global change drivers synergize with the negative impacts of non-native invasive ants on native seed-dispersing ants
Non-native species invasion, habitat fragmentation and climate change individually impose negative impacts on natural systems, but their synergistic...

Relationships of community diversity with distributions of rare species, non-native plants, and compositional stability in a temperate forest–open habitat landscape
Three hypotheses regarding relationships between community diversity and occurrences of rare and non-native species and community stability include:...
-
Habitat context and functional growth traits explain alien plant invader impacts on native vegetation communities
Examining context-dependency of ecological impacts of alien plant invasions is critical to further understand the mechanisms driving impacts. We...

Flammability features of native and non-native woody species from the southernmost ecosystems: a review
BackgroundVegetation plays a crucial role in the ignition, propagation, and severity of fire, and understanding the relationship between plants and...

How invaded are Hawaiian forests? Non-native understory tree dominance signals potential canopy replacement
ContextNon-native species invasions are altering the composition, structure, function, and dynamics of forests globally. The Hawaiian Islands are a...

Plant functional, biogeographical and phylogenetic diversity are related to native and non-native plant abundance in invaded Hawaiian forests
Numerous introduced species from cosmopolitan biogeographic origins have naturalized in the Hawaiian Islands and are spreading while native plant...
