Plant invasion pathways and drivers of invasion success

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the mechanisms of plant invasions, this review explores how various pathways, such as horticulture and tourism, facilitate the introduction of invasive species that threaten native ecosystems. It highlights that not all introduced species become invasive and discusses several theories explaining invasion success, including propagule pressure and enemy release. The review emphasizes the need for unifying existing hypotheses to better understand the complexities of plant invasions and their impacts on native vegetation.
