Lags in the response of mountain plant communities to climate change

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 24(2), P. 563 - 579

Published: Nov. 7, 2017

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models) rarely consider that plant community could substantially lag behind changes, hindering our ability to make temporally realistic projections for coming century. Indeed, magnitudes of lags, relative importance different factors giving rise them, remain poorly understood. We review evidence three types lag: "dispersal lags" affecting species' spread along elevational gradients, "establishment following their arrival in recipient communities, "extinction resident species. Variation lags is explained by variation among physiological demographic responses, effects altered biotic interactions, aspects physical environment. Of these, interactions contribute establishment extinction yet range dynamics are develop a mechanistic model illustrate how turnover future communities might simple expectations based shifts with unlimited dispersal.

The changing role of ornamental horticulture in alien plant invasions

The number of alien plants escaping from cultivation into native ecosystems is increasing steadily. We provide an overview the historical, contemporary and potential future roles ornamental horticulture in plant invasions. show that currently at least 75% 93% global naturalised flora grown domestic botanical gardens, respectively.

Plant adaptation to climate change—Where are we?

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 58(5), P. 533 - 545

Published: June 18, 2020

Abstract Climate change poses critical challenges for population persistence in natural communities, agriculture and environmental sustainability, food security. In this review, we discuss recent progress climatic adaptation plants. We evaluate whether climate exerts novel selection disrupts local adaptation, gene flow can facilitate adaptive responses to change, phenotypic plasticity could sustain populations the short term. Furthermore, how influences species interactions. Through a more in‐depth understanding of these eco‐evolutionary dynamics, will increase our capacity predict potential plants under change. addition, review studies that dissect genetic basis plant Finally, highlight key research gaps, ranging from validating function elucidating molecular mechanisms, expanding systems model other species, testing fitness consequences alleles environments, designing multifactorial closely reflect complex interactive effects multiple factors. By leveraging interdisciplinary tools (e.g., cutting‐edge omics toolkits, ecological strategies, newly developed genome editing technology), researchers accurately probability persist through rapid intense period as well cultivate crops withstand conserve biodiversity systems.

Risks posed by invasive species to the provision of ecosystem services in Europe

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 10, 2024

Invasive species significantly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet understanding these effects at large spatial scales remains a challenge. Our study addresses this gap by assessing the current potential future risks posed 94 invasive to seven key services in Europe. We demonstrate widespread impacts, particularly on outdoor recreation, habitat maintenance, crop provisioning, soil nitrogen retention. Exposure was higher areas with lower provision of for regulating cultural services. also high where contributions retention were their highest. Notably, regions vital currently have low invasion suitability, but face an average 77% increase area. Here we show that, while high-value service highest risk represent small fraction Europe (0-13%), they are disproportionally important conservation. underscores importance monitoring protecting hotspots align management strategies international targets, considering both vulnerability sustainability.

Disturbance is the key to plant invasions in cold environments

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 113(49), P. 14061 - 14066

Published: Nov. 21, 2016

Significance This work provides a complete experimental answer to the longstanding question of which local factors determine success (i.e., establishment, growth, and flowering) common nonnative plant invaders at their coldest physiological limits. Using multifactorial seed-addition experiment along repeated elevational gradients in two sub(ant)arctic mountain regions, we pinpoint relative contribution all main candidate determinants: temperature, disturbance, nutrient addition, propagule pressure. We warn that climate change direct human disturbances will together result increased invasion cold-climate ecosystems near future.
