How biological invasions are silently remodelling ecosystems Invasive alien species don’t only drive out other native species, they also dramatically transform soils, water and ecosystems. A new assessment tool aims to pinpoint the negative environmental impact...

How biological invasions are silently remodelling ecosystems:

our paper in @plosbiology.org about the extension of the #EICAT impact classification of biological invasions has now an outreach piece!

Expanding invasive species impact assessments to the ecosystem level with EEICAT This Consensus View introduces EEICAT, a framework for assessing how biological invasions affect species, ecosystems, and the environment. It covers 19 types of impacts and aims to help scientists and...

In our new @plosbiology.org study, we introduce #EEICAT, an evolution of the #EICAT framework to include communities, ecosystems and abiotic habitat components into biological invasions impact assessments.

Integrating EICAT and EICAT+ assessments and expert knowledge to classify invasive alien plants in France, based on their ecological impact The EICAT and EICAT+ methods were developed to assess the negative and positive environmental impacts of alien species respectively. While both methods are theoretically applicable across spatial scal...

IUCN Standard to support global action on invasive alien species IUCN today launched a global standard for classifying the severity and type of impacts caused by alien species, known as the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT). This tool will ...
