“…The results of our study also indicate that, in order to be able to spread, IPS require appropriate temperatures with pronounced precipitation. Some other studies have also shown that climate change can lead to the creation of suitable habitats for the invasion of IPS in PAs (Pickering et al, 2011;Vicente et al, 2013;Thalmann et al, 2015). The connectivity of these suitable habitats can then provide important corridors for IPS movements (Vicente et al, 2013).…”

“…This implies that IPS expand and establish under the same environmental conditions in native and invasive ranges in the above-mentioned situations (Petitpierre et al, 2012;Early and Sax, 2014;Wan et al, 2016a, b;Wang et al, 2017). Hence, IPS can invade ecologically fragile protected areas (PAs) with environmental conditions similar to those of the native and invaded environments of these species Vicente et al, 2013;Hulme et al, 2014). Protected areas often contain diverse fauna and flora and unusual geological features; they therefore play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation .…”

“…The connectivity of PAs, e.g. through corridors, can even offer additional routes for the spread of IPS (Vicente et al, 2013;Donaldson et al, 2014). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate whether climate change affects the movement of IPS through PAs and whether PAs can act as barriers to the invasion of non-native species.…”

“…Species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to predict suitable habitats of plant species based on niche conservatism on the global scale; it can also be used to analyse the complex relationships between IPS and PAs (Václavík and Meentemeyer, 2009;Petitpierre et al, 2012;Vicente et al, 2013;Kolanowska, 2014;McConnachie et al, 2015). Species distribution modelling coupled with geographic information systems (GIS) can be applied to generate spatially explicit models of the potential of IPS to invade PAs and of the invasion pathways under climate change (Thuiller et al, 2005;Vicente et al, 2013;Donaldson et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. Global climate change may enable invasive plant species (IPS) to invade protected areas (PAs), but plant invasion on a global scale has not yet been explicitly addressed. Here, we mapped the potential invasion pathways for IPS in PAs across the globe and explored potential factors determining the pathways of plant invasion under climate change. We used species distribution modelling to estimate the suitable habitats of 386 IPS and applied a corridor analysis to compute the potential pathways of IPS in PAs under climate change. Subsequently, we analysed the potential factors affecting the pathways in PAs. According to our results, the main potential pathways of IPS in PAs are in Europe, eastern Australia, New Zealand, southern Africa, and eastern regions of South America and are strongly influenced by changes in temperature and precipitation. Protected areas can play an important role in preventing and controlling the spread of IPS under climate change. This is due to the fact that measures are taken to monitor climate change in detail, to provide effective management near or inside PAs, and to control the introduction of IPS with a high capacity for natural dispersal. A review of conservation policies in PAs is urgently needed.

Elevated CO₂ affects the rhizosphere microbial community and the growth of two invader plant species differently in semiarid Mediterranean soils

et al. 2021

The rise in atmospheric CO 2 levels is foreseen to enhance the growth of exotic invasive plants and potentially alter the rhizosphere microbial community, which in turn could enhance the risk of colonization by such invaders. This response could be determined by the plant type and the features of invaded soil. The goal of this investigation was to compare the effects of elevated CO 2 on the rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities of two invaders with distinct degrees of invasiveness, Nicotiana glauca and Mirabilis jalapa, by growing the plants in five different semiarid soils at ambient (410 ppm) or elevated (760 ppm) CO 2 . The changes in soil physicochemical, biochemical, and biological features mediated by the invaders were also evaluated.The effect of CO 2 supply on shoot dry biomass was only significant for N. glauca, the shoot and root biomass of plants grown under elevated CO 2 being approximately 53% and 14% greater, respectively, than those of the plants grown under ambient CO 2 . Elevated CO 2 only promoted shifts in the rhizosphere bacterial community composition and enhanced the bacterial functional potential related to nucleoside and nucleotide biosynthesis and N-cycling in N. glauca. Among the bacterial indicator species, the genera Sphingomonas, Stenotrophobacter, and Gaiella were more abundant in the rhizosphere of N. glauca plants grown under elevated CO 2 . This study demonstrates that the responses of aboveground and belowground biomass of invasive plants to CO 2 enrichment, as well as those of the composition and functioning of soil microbial communities, are dependent on their degree of invasiveness.
