TL;DR: It is argued that human actions are dismantling the Earth’s ecosystems, eliminating genes, species and biological traits at an alarming rate, and the question of how such loss of biological diversity will alter the functioning of ecosystems and their ability to provide society with the goods and services needed to prosper is asked.
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.
Book
Structural Equation Modeling and Natural Systems
TL;DR: In this article, structural equation models with observed variables were used to understand plant diversity patterns in ecological communities, and they were applied to understand the temporal dynamics of a plant-insect interaction.
Book
Perspectives on Plant Competition
James B. Grace,David Tilman +1 more
TL;DR: Twenty contributions focus on how plants compete, and on the consequences of their competition, particularly as it affects the structure and dynamics of plant communities.
