Biotic homogenization and conservation prioritization (2007, background): “Duncan and Lockwood (2001) examined patterns of biotic homogenization within ecoregions, and Kühn and Klotz (2006) confined their analysis to sites within a similar bioclimatic region.”
Non-native species in urban environments: patterns, processes, impacts and challenges (2017, background): “Invasions can also homogenize biotic communities (Kühn and Klotz 2006; McKinney 2006; Trentanovi et al. 2013) when they replace regionally unique native species with a common set of non-natives (e.”
Biotic homogenization: a new research agenda for conservation biogeography (2006, background): “The study by Kühn & Klotz (2006), on the other hand, found no overall relationship between patterns of homogenization and urbanization across Germany.”
Plant species composition in green spaces within the built-up areas of Beijing, China (2010, background): “However, habitats and green spaces within cities have become fragmented, modified, and degraded, which has caused dramatic changes to urban plant species composition (Sukopp 1998; Kühn and Klotz 2006).”
Impact of invasive plants on the species richness, diversity and composition of invaded communities (2009, background): “Large-scale effects of plant invasions include the homogenization of floras, when originally different phytogeographical units become similar thanks to massive plant invasions (Schwartz et al . 2006, but see Kuhn & Klotz 2006 ).”
Traits of British alien and native urban plants (2008, background): “…2006; Schwartz et al. 2006), with increasing interest in discovering the functional traits that are both favoured and disadvantaged by urbanization, particularly in European cities (e.g. Landolt 2000; Chocholouskova & Pysek 2003; Kuhn et al. 2004; Kuhn & Klotz 2006; Godefroid & Koedam 2007).”
Native and alien floras in urban habitats: a comparison across 32 cities of central Europe (2012, background): “Large cities harbour a greater proportion of alien plant species than their surroundings (Pyšek, 1998; Roy et al., 1999; Kühn & Klotz, 2006; Pyšek et al., 2010).”
Alien flora of Europe: species diversity, temporal trends, geographical patterns and research needs. (2008, background): “Floristic homogenization is a trend increasing globally, prompting widespread concerns over degradation of regional distinctiveness and threats to local biodiversity (McKinney 2004, Olden et al. 2004, Kühn & Klotz 2006, Castro et al. 2007).”
The alien flora of Greece: taxonomy, life traits and habitat preferences (2010, background): “Prior to the DAISIE work only few European countries had sound information on the composition of their alien floras, available in specialised checklists, namely Austria (Essl and Rabitsch 2002), the Czech Republic (Pyšek et al. 2002), Germany (Klotz et al. 2002; Kühn and Klotz 2003), Ireland (Reyn”
Do non‐native species invasions lead to biotic homogenization at small scales? The similarity and functional diversity of habitats compared for alien and native components of Mediterranean floras (2008, methodology): “These trends are consistent with the growing emphasis on urbanization as a major driver of biotic homogenization (McKinney, 2002; Kühn & Klotz, 2006; McKinney, 2006; Olden et al., 2006; Devictor et al., 2007).”
Impacts of urbanisation on biodiversity: the role of species mobility, degree of specialisation and spatial scale (2015, background): “…393 than homogenisation, has generally been found in urban areas due to the increase in non-394 native species, in particular neophytes (species introduced by humans after 1500 A.D.), which 395 are functionally a very diverse group (Kühn and Klotz 2006, Knapp et al. 2012, Ricotta et al. 396 2012).”
Biotic homogenization at the community scale: disentangling the roles of urbanization and plant invasion (2013, background): “…yielded divergent results thus far, differing in the addressed taxa (K€uhn & Klotz, 2006; Marchetti et al., 2006; Luck & Smallbone, 2011), regions (La Sorte et al., 2008), species groups (K€uhn & Klotz, 2006; Knapp et al., 2008; Ricotta et al., 2012) and habitats addressed (B€uhler & Roth, 2011).”
