We do not know which aspects of community structure and ecosystem processes are restorable for most ecosystems, yet this information is crucial for ac...

Nutrient enrichment with phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) threatens biodiversity globally, particularly because it drives invasion by exotic plant spec...

Intensive, large-scale agriculture promotes the conversion of natural habitats and diversified crops into monocultures, decreasing both native vegetat...

Semi-natural grasslands are rich in biodiversity and thus important habitats for conservation, yet they are experiencing rapid declines due to agricul...

The atmospheric deposition of sulfur and nitrogen compounds in the Netherlands has been responsible for decreasing plant species diversity in heathlan...

Invasive plants destroy the structure and function of many ecosystems but removal is expensive, so the likelihood of success should be assessed before...

The impact of dense stands of the alien invasive species Acacia saligna on the guild structure of indigenous fynbos vegetation was investigated at 3 s...

Invasions by alien plants into unspoiled ecosystems are a cause for concern because the pristine systems are important stores of biodiversity. Indeed,...
