Abstract Nonnative insects and pathogens pose major threats to forest ecosystems worldwide, greatly diminishing the ecosystem services trees provide. Given high global diversity of arthropod microbial species, their often unknown biological features or even identities, ease accidental transport, there is an urgent need better forecast most likely species cause damage. Several risk assessment approaches have been proposed implemented guide preventative measures. However, underlying assumptions each approach rarely explicitly identified critically evaluated. We propose that evaluating implicit assumptions, optimal usages, advantages limitations could help improve combined utility. consider four general categories: using prior pest status in native previously invaded regions; statistical patterns traits gene sequences associated with a impact; sentinel other plantings expose native, nonnative, experimental settings; laboratory assays detached plant parts seedlings under controlled conditions. evaluate how what conditions are best met methods for integrating multiple our forecasting ability prevent losses from invasive pests.

Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree species richness at forest stands can improve resistance to insect pest damage. However, commonality of this finding is still under debate. In review, we provide a quantitative assessment (i.e., meta-analysis) diversity effects on herbivory and discuss plausible mechanisms underlying observed patterns. We recommendations working hypotheses serve lay groundwork for come. Based more than 600 study cases, our review indicates was, average, lower in mixed pure stands, but these were contingent herbivore diet breadth composition. particular, mainly reduced damage specialist herbivores with phylogenetically distant species. Overall, findings essential guidance management.

Worldwide, forests are increasingly affected by nonnative insects and diseases, some of which cause substantial tree mortality. Forests in the United States have been invaded a particularly large number (>450) tree-feeding pest species. While information exists about ecological impacts certain pests, region-wide assessments composite ecosystem all species limited. Here we analyze 92,978 forest plots distributed across conterminous to estimate biomass loss associated with elevated mortality rates caused 15 most damaging pests. We find that these combined an additional (i.e., above background levels) rate 5.53 TgC per year. Compensation, form increased growth recruitment nonhost species, was not detectable when measured entire ranges but does occur several decades following invasions. In addition, 41.1% total live is at risk future from These results indicate invasions, driven primarily globalization, represent huge US significant on carbon dynamics.

Abstract Our ability to predict invasions has been hindered by the seemingly idiosyncratic context-dependency of individual invasions. However, we argue that robust and useful generalisations in invasion science can be made considering “invasion syndromes” which define as “a combination pathways, alien species traits, characteristics recipient ecosystem collectively result predictable dynamics impacts, managed effectively using specific policy management actions”. We describe this approach outline examples highlight its utility, including: cacti with clonal fragmentation arid ecosystems; small aquatic organisms introduced through ballast water harbours; large ranid frogs frequent secondary transfers; piscivorous freshwater fishes connected plant high-elevation areas; tall-statured grasses; tree-feeding insects forests suitable hosts. propose a systematic method for identifying delimiting syndromes. syndromes account biological while incorporating insights from comparative studies. Adopting will help structure thinking, identify transferrable risk assessment lessons, similarities among events were previously considered disparate phenomena.

In this article, we review measures used mitigate arrival, establishment, spread, impacts possible impediments successful these measures.
