Response of Exotic Invasive Plant Species To Forest Damage Caused By Hurricane Isabel

Available Online

Snitzer, J.L.

Boucher, D.H.

Kyde, K.I.

In September 2003, Hurricane Isabel caused unexpectedly high levels of wind damage to an 80-to 100-year-old forest in the Piedmont of Maryland. The storm had decreased in intensity from landfall by the time it reached the study sitesustained winds w

Hurricane disturbance accelerates invasion by alien tree Pittosporum undulatum in Jamaican montane rain forests

Available Online

Bellingham, Peter J.

Tanner, Edmund V. J.

Healey, John R.

Excurra, E.

Questions: Do past disturbance, soil nutrients, or species diversity predict the invasion success of the alien tree Pittosporum undulatum in an island montane rain forest? What are the consequences of its invasion for forest composition and species d

Land use history, hurricane disturbance, and the fate of introduced species in a subtropical wet forest in Puerto Rico

Available Online

Thompson, Jill

Lugo, Ariel E.

Thomlinson, John

Tropical forests are suffering from increasing intensities and frequency of disturbances. As a result, non-native species accidentally introduced or intentionally planted for farming, plantations, and ornamental purposes may spread and potentially in

The impact of Hurricane Frances (2004) on the invasive Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia L.) on San Salvador Island, the Bahamas

Available Online

Rodgers, John C.

Gamble, Douglas W.

On September 2, 2004 Hurricane Frances (Category 3) passed directly over San Salvador Island, The Bahamas. This event offered the opportunity to gather baseline data regarding the impact of hurricanes on populations of the invasive Australian pine (C

Will Alien Plant Invaders Be advantaged Under Future Climates?

Available Online

Leishman, Michelle R.

Gallagher, Rachel V.

The last two decades have seen an upsurge in research into the potential synergies between invasive species and climate change, with evidence emerging of increased invader success under climate change. All stages along the naturalization-invasion con

Recruitment dynamics of invasive species in rainforest habitats following Cyclone Larry

Murphy, H.T.

Metcalfe, D.J.

Bradford, M.J.

Ford, A.F.

Galway, K.E.

Sydes, T.A.

Westcott, D.J.

In tropical forests, natural disturbance creates opportunities for species to claim previously utilized space and resources and is considered an important mechanism in the maintenance of species diversity. However, ecologists have long recognized tha

Rapid recovery of damaged ecosystems

Available Online

Jones, Holly P.

Schmitz, Oswald J.

Background: Recent reports on the state of the global environment provide evidence that humankind is inflicting great damage to the very ecosystems that support human livelihoods. The reports further predict that ecosystems will take centuries to rec

Hurricane Activity and Large-scale Pattern of Spread of an Invasive Plant Species

Available Online

Bhattarai, Ganesh P.

Cronin, James T.

Disturbances are a primary facilitator of the growth and spread of invasive species. However, the effects of large-scale disturbances, such as hurricanes and tropical storms, on the broad geographic patterns of invasive species growth and spread have

Feral hog disturbance alters carbon dynamics in Southeastern US salt marshes

Available Online

Persico, Emily P.

Sharp, Sean J

Angelini, Christine

Disturbances that remove primary producers and alter substrate chemistry commonly influence ecosystem carbon dynamics. Because coastal wetlands are especially effective in sequestering carbon, quantifying how disturbances may alter their ability to p

UK Rodent Eradication Best Practice Toolkit

Available Online

The spread of invasive non-native species presents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally: invasive species are the primary driver of biodiversity loss on islands and the second largest everywhere else (CBD ; Millennium Ecosystem Assess
