TL;DR: Smaller reserves tend to show higher proportions of invasive introduced species in their vascular plant floras, and both freshwater fish and mammalian faunas, than do larger reserves, and the intentional or accidental introduction of species to these reserves should be avoided.

TL;DR: Synthetic plant communites are ad-mixtures of native, naturalised and exotic species, or combinations of native species not typical of the landscape in question Such communities may be transitional phases in the degeneration of a native plant community or they may be metastable communities capable of persistence given appropriate management Maintenance of synthetic communities depends on the intervention of man through varying management practices as discussed by the authors.
