Similar factors underlie tree abundance in forests in native and alien ranges (2019)
Journal Article
Sande, M. T., Bruelheide, H., Dawson, W., Dengler, J., Essl, F., Field, R., Haider, S., Kleunen, M., Kreft, H., Pagel, J., Pergl, J., Purschke, O., Pyšek, P., Weigelt, P., Winter, M., Attorre, F., Aubin, I., Bergmeier, E., Chytrý, M., Dainese, M., …Knight, T. M. (2020). Similar factors underlie tree abundance in forests in native and alien ranges. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 29(2), 281-294. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.13027

Aim: Alien plant species can cause severe ecological and economic problems, and therefore attract a lot of research interest in biogeography and related fields. To identify potential future invasive species, we need to better understand the mechanism... Read More about Similar factors underlie tree abundance in forests in native and alien ranges.

Facultative mycorrhizal associations promote plant naturalization worldwide (2019)
Journal Article
Pyšek, P., Guo, W., Štajerová, K., Moora, M., Bueno, C. G., Dawson, W., Essl, F., Gerz, M., Kreft, H., Pergl, J., van Kleunen, M., Weigelt, P., Winter, M., & Zobel, M. (2019). Facultative mycorrhizal associations promote plant naturalization worldwide. Ecosphere, 10(11), Article e02937. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.2937

Mycorrhizal symbiosis has received relatively little attention as a mechanism explaining plant naturalizations at a global scale. Here, we combined data on vascular plant species occurrences in over 840 mainland and island regions from the Global Nat...

Drivers of the relative richness of naturalized and invasive plant species on Earth (2019)
Journal Article
Essl, F., Dawson, W., Kreft, H., Pergl, J., Pysek, P., van Kleunen, M., Weigelt, P., Mang, T., Dullinger, S., Lenzner, B., Moser, D., Maurel, M., Seebens, H., Stein, A., Weber, E., Chatelain, C., Genovesi, P., Kartesz, J., Morozova, O., Nishino, M., …Winter, M. (2019). Drivers of the relative richness of naturalized and invasive plant species on Earth. AoB PLANTS, 11(5), Article plz051. https://doi.org/10.1093/aobpla/plz051

Biological invasions are a defining feature of the Anthropocene, but the factors that determine the spatially uneven distribution of alien plant species are still poorly understood. Here, we present the first global analysis of the effects of biogeog... Read More about Drivers of the relative richness of naturalized and invasive plant species on Earth.

Effects of climate change and horticultural use on the spread of naturalized alien garden plants in Europe (2019)
Journal Article
Klonner, G., Wessely, J., Gattringer, A., Moser, D., Dullinger, I., Hülber, K., Rumpf, S. B., Block, S., Bossdorf, O., Carboni, M., Conti, L., Dawson, W., Haeuser, E., Hermy, M., Münkemüller, T., Parepa, M., Thuiller, W., Van der Veken, S., Verheyen, K., van Kleunen, M., …Dullinger, S. (2019). Effects of climate change and horticultural use on the spread of naturalized alien garden plants in Europe. Ecography, 42(9), 1548-1557. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.04389

Climate warming is supposed to enlarge the area climatically suitable to the naturalization of alien garden plants in temperate regions. However, the effects of a changing climate on the spread of naturalized ornamentals have not been evaluated by sp...

Domestic gardens play a dominant role in selecting alien species with adaptive strategies that facilitate naturalization (2019)
Journal Article
Guo, W.-Y., van Kleunen, M., Pierce, S., Dawson, W., Essl, F., Kreft, H., Maurel, N., Pergl, J., Seebens, H., Weigelt, P., Winter, M., & Pyšek, P. (2019). Domestic gardens play a dominant role in selecting alien species with adaptive strategies that facilitate naturalization. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 28(5), 628-639. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12882

Aim: Horticulture has been recognized as the main pathway of plant invasions worldwide. The selection of ornamental garden plants is not random, and certain plant characteristics related to adaptive plant strategies are preferred by horticulture and...
