Community level traits of invaded plant communities in the United States
November 7, 2024
Data were compiled from large trait databases for functional above and belowground traits (e.g. specific leaf area, specific root length, etc) of plants in communities across the United States along with information about the degree to which invasive species dominate those communities.

Naturalized species drive functional trait shifts in plant communities Naturalized species drive functional trait shifts in plant communities
Despite decades of research documenting the consequences of naturalized and invasive plant species on ecosystem functions, our understanding of the functional underpinnings of these changes remains rudimentary. This is partially due to ineffective scaling of trait differences between native and naturalized species to whole plant communities. Working with data from over 75,000 plots and...
