Much of the invasive species literature confuses causes (mechanisms) & consequences (impacts)

We introduce a comprehensive typology of 19 impact types across 6 levels of biological organisation (individuals to ecosystems)

The relative contributions of plant traits to invasiveness and impact through R, A and E of 32 plant species in grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau based on a structural equation model.

Shuping Guan et al. investigated the relative contributions of #PlantTraits to the potential #EcologicalImpacts of #InvasivePlantSpecies. But the results showed that there was no correlation between invasiveness and impacts of invasive species on the #TibetanPlateau.
