Summary: | The project aims at i) evaluating and comparing the impacts of dominant species in their native versus invaded ranges, ii) quantifying the effect of the geographical direction of invasion on the invader´s community-level impact, iii) the community resilience following the dominant species´ removal in its native versus invaded ranges and iv) evaluating the role of fungal mycorrhizal symbiosis in the proces of transcontinental invasion |
