Mechanisms underlying the impacts of exotic plant invasions
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is found that, while numerous studies have examined the impacts of invasions on plant diversity and composition, less than 5% test whether these effects arise through competition, allelopathy, alteration of ecosystem variables or other processes.
