Disturbance Facilitates Invasion: The Effects Are Stronger Abroad than at Home

Abstract: Disturbance is one of the most important factors promoting exotic invasion. However, if disturbance per se is sufficient to explain exotic success, then "invasion" abroad should not differ from "colonization" at home. Comparisons of the effects of disturbance on organisms in their native and introduced ranges are crucial to elucidate whether this is the case; however, such comparisons have not been conducted. We investigated the effects of disturbance on the success of Eurasian native Centaurea solstitialis in… Show more

“…Hierro, unpublished data). In the absence of strong disturbances, grasslands in the region generally offer remarkable resistance to non-native plant invasion (Hierro et al 2006). Previous research has identified competitors ) and granivores (Pearson et al 2014a, b) as major players in this resistance.…”

“…We performed the study in the semiarid open forest of caldén (Prosopis caldenia, Fabaceae) in central Argentina, commonly known as the Caldenal (Cano et al 1980;Cabrera 1994). Similar to many natural systems around the world, most non-native invasive plants in the Caldenal are ruderals (sensu Grime 1974;Baker 1974;Mack et al 2000;Hierro et al 2005Hierro et al , 2006Hierro et al , 2011Pearson et al 2014a). Consequently, and in order to contrast native and non-native species with similar life-history strategies, we focused on comparing native vs. non-native ruderals.…”

“…1, 2). In densely growing herbaceous plant communities, colonization/invasion primarily occurs in gaps created through disturbance or mortality (van der Maarel and Sykes 1993; Burke and Grime 1996;Kotanen 1997;Brokaw and Busing 2000;Marvier et al 2004;Vandvic 2004;Gross et al 2005;Hierro et al 2006). Given that disturbance-generated gaps are relatively uncommon in herbaceous vegetation (Goldberg and Gross 1988), it follows that resources will be made available for seedling establishment primarily through the death of resident plants (Sarukhan and Harper 1973).…”

“…Few papers (11%) offered integrative analyses some of which provided several lists of invasive plants in China at the national scale (Liu et al 2005, He 2011. In addition, some recent papers listed naturalized plants (Wu et al 2010, Jiang et al 2011) and invasive plants , Huang et al 2009, Xu et al 2012).…”

“…For example, in 126 B.C., Zhang Qian and his assistants introduced seeds of useful plants to China from central Asia, including alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), grape (Vitis vinifera L.), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) (Xie et al 2001). Human disturbance and diverse introduction pathways, which usually increase in the wake of economic growth, are widely recognized as important drivers of biological invasions (Hierro et al 2006, Meyerson and Mooney 2007, Hulme 2009, Essl et al 2011a) and this holds particularly for China (Liu et al 2005, Lin et al 2007. While plant invasions in Europe have clearly increased since the 19th century (Lambdon et al 2008) corresponding processes might have started later in China, likely due to the longer political and economic isolation of this country ).…”
