The extent to which tropical rain forests recover tree species richness, composition and community structure after clear-cutting or selective harvest ...

Species-rich grasslands are of high conservation value because of the diverse floral and faunal assemblages they support. Intensive agriculture has re...

Global tropical forests have been modified and fragmented by commodity agroforests, leading to significant alterations in ecological communities. Neve...

Invasion of exotic species is a global challenge and the potential for adverse effects on local biodiversity is particularly high in protected areas. ...

Several decades of research on invasive marine species have yielded a broad understanding of the nature of species invasion mechanisms and associated ...

Species richness is often used as a tool for prioritizing conservation action. One method for predicting richness and other summaries of community str...

1. To explore how rangeland grazing affects native plant diversity at local and regional scales, we measured the frequency of occurrence of plant spec...

Land-use intensification strongly influences biodiversity by altering habitat heterogeneity, the distribution of habitat types and their extent. This ...

Lines separating native and invasive plant species can be thin due to close relatedness, obscured by cryptic invasions, or breached by hybridization. ...

The timing of seasonal activity (i.e. phenology) may play an important role in plant invasions. In ecosystems characterized by seasonal rainfall, earl...
