TL;DR: Although a high SLA per se contributes to biomass homeostasis, there was no evidence that plasticity in SLA contributes to this, and it was argued that some of the plastic changes that are frequently thought to be adaptive might simply reflect passive responses to the environment, or result as by-products of adaptive plastic responses in other traits.

TL;DR: A spatially and temporally explicit simulation model is used to forecast invasion risks in a protected mountain area in the French Alps under future conditions and shows that propagule pressure and climate change will interact to increase overall species richness of both naturalized aliens and new ornamentals, as well as their upper elevational limits and regional range-sizes.

TL;DR: The inventoried flora of 50 public and 61 private gardens in Radolfzell, a small city in southern Germany, was inventoried to investigate whether local naturalization success of garden plants is associated with their current planting frequency, climatic suitability, and known naturalization status somewhere in the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of climate, nursery availability and species characteristics on the current European naturalization success of 2,073 ornamental aliens commonly planted in European gardens were modelled and used together with climate projections for 2050 to forecast future naturalization risks for the 1,583 species not yet naturalized in Europe.

TL;DR: It is suggested that some alien plants may have greater colonization success relative to native plants under a warmer climate than either type of sown alien species.
