Project description
Forecasting the biodiversity impact of invasions
One of the challenges facing biodiversity conservation in the Anthropocene is alien species invasion. The EU-funded ALIENIMPACTS project aims to address this challenge by developing an approach for accurately predicting how alien plants affect floristic diversity and identifying the circumstances under which native diversity will decline. The project will use temperate grasslands as a model system and draw on experimental, observational, theoretical and quantitative approaches to systematically quantify, for the very first time, the impact alien plants can have on plant community diversity.
