CABI Book Chapter
Invasive species and global climate change.
Description
This book contains 18 chapters addressing topics related to the impact of invasive species, including biosecurity, demographics, species diversity, and food security. It is meant for researchers, upper-level students, and policymakers and provides a factual basis for the underlying science and a discussion of that information with respect to current and future impacts and possible solutions.

Climate change, plant traits and invasion in natural and agricultural ecosystems.
Invasive plant species often thrive in new and resource-rich environments, and may therefore benefit from global changes that create such environments. Global change effects on invasion risk will depend both on the environment in which competition between invasive and resident plant species occurs, and the physiological and life history traits of the competing species. In agricultural environments, risks include poleward movement of many problematic invasive species, decreased biotic resistance to invasion with extreme climatic events and strong global change responses of particular invasive species. However, owing to their similar rapid resource acquisition and growth strategies, invasive species and crops may respond similarly to changes that increase resources. Furthermore, management adaptations, such as planting crops or varieties suited to new climate conditions, will help to maintain biotic resistance to invasion from crops. In natural ecosystems, global changes that rapidly increase resources may favor fast-growing invasive plant species and inhibit slower-growing native species adapted to current climate conditions. In addition, management options to help native species compete with invasive species in novel environments, such as assisted migration, are relatively limited. Thus, natural ecosystems may be particularly vulnerable to invasion with predicted increases in CO
