Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities (2021, background): “Abiotic conditions that increase plant mortality and suppress the potential growth of plants (e.g. frosts, extreme heat, salinity and drought; see Lortie et al., 2004) appear to have fewer numbers of invasive species (Pauchard et al., 2009; Stohlgren et al., 2003).”
The role of bioclimatic origin, residence time and habitat context in shaping non-native plant distributions along an altitudinal gradient (2010, background): “These patterns may be explained by assuming that most non-native plant species initially establish at low altitudes and thus need to be climatically pre-adapted to lowland conditions (lowland introduction filter, Becker et al. 2005; Pauchard et al. 2009).”
The silent extinction: climate change and the potential hybridization-mediated extinction of endemic high-mountain plants (2015, background): “In this scenario, traditional conservation strategies are probably adequate in some situations (Pauchard et al. 2009).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “Similarly, drivers of invasibility and invasiveness might be expected to change across environmental gradients within regions (Pauchard et al. 2009).”
Alien flora of mountains: global comparisons for the development of local preventive measures against plant invasions (2011, background): “Pinus species introduced for forestry operations have escaped in many mountain regions (Peña et al., 2008; Pauchard et al., 2009; Simberloff et al., 2010).”
Climate change amplifies plant invasion hotspots in Nepal (2019, background): “Globalization and climate change will likely increase the threat posed by invasive plants to high-elevation biodiversity, although high-elevation mountain ecosystems are still less invaded by IAPs as compared to lowland ecosystems (Pauchard et al., 2009).”
