Phylogenetic and functional diversity are theorised to increase invasion resistance. Experimentally testing whether plant communities higher in these ...

A theoretical model of winter survival dynamics of Meloidogyne spp. (Jeger & Starr 1985) was extended to incorporate the loss of egg viability and...

Biological invasions are a major consequence of globalization and pose a significant threat to biodiversity. Because only a small fraction of introduc...

The success of locally applied treatments for exotic weed control depends on the effectiveness of the method used and workers' abilities to find plant...

Regeneration, mortality, local extinction, growth and foliar elemental concentrations of indigenous (ericoid, restioid, proteoid) and alien (acacia) p...

Nutrient limitation (mostly N or P) is a driving force in ecosystem development. Current techniques to determine the nature of nutrient limitation use...

South African fynbos vegetation, principally Protea repens and P. neriifolia, is fire-prone and susceptible to invasion by alien shrubs. Changes in bi...

In grasslands, the interactions of foliar fungal diseases and their host plants are largely dependent on grazing by large herbivores. However, the rel...

The invasion of fynbos shrublands by woody weed species can reduce the water yield from catchment areas dramatically. The consequences of uncontrolled...

In the face of large-scale environmental changes, predicting the consequences for species composition from species' traits can be a major step towards...
