Journal ArticleDOI
Naturalization and invasion of alien plants: concepts and definitions
David M. Richardson,Petr Pyšek,Marcel Rejmánek,Michael G. Barbour,F. Dane Panetta,Carol J. West +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the term ‘invasive’ should be used without any inference to environmental or economic impact, and terms like ‘pests’ and ‘weeds’ are suitable labels for the 50–80% of invaders that have harmful effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
A proposed unified framework for biological invasions.
Tim M. Blackburn,Tim M. Blackburn,Petr Pyšek,Petr Pyšek,Sven Bacher,James T. Carlton,Richard P. Duncan,Vojtěch Jarošík,Vojtěch Jarošík,John R. U. Wilson,David M. Richardson +10 more
TL;DR: A unified framework for biological invasions is proposed that reconciles and integrates the key features of the most commonly used invasion frameworks into a single conceptual model that can be applied to all human-mediated invasions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel ecosystems: theoretical and management aspects of the new ecological world order
Richard J. Hobbs,Salvatore Arico,James Aronson,Jill S. Baron,Peter Bridgewater,Viki A. Cramer,Paul R. Epstein,John J. Ewel,Carlos A. Klink,Ariel E. Lugo,David A. Norton,Dennis S. Ojima,David M. Richardson,Eric W. Sanderson,Fernando Valladares,Montserrat Vilà,Regino Zamora,Martin Zobel +17 more
TL;DR: The issues relevant to those types of ecosystems containing new combinations of species that arise through human action, environmental change, and the impacts of the deliberate and inadvertent introduction of species from other regions are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
What attributes make some plant species more invasive
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Invasive Alien Plants on Fire Regimes
Matthew L. Brooks,Carla M. D'Antonio,David M. Richardson,James B. Grace,Jon E. Keeley,Joseph M. DiTomaso,Richard J. Hobbs,Mike Pellant,David A. Pyke +8 more
TL;DR: A multiphase model describing the interrelationships between plant invaders and fire regimes is presented, a system for evaluating the relative effects of invaders and prioritizing them for control is provided, and ways to restore pre-invasion fire regime properties are recommended.
