20 p, 1.2 MB Effect of introduction pathways on the invasion success of non-native plants along environmental gradients / Riera, Marc (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Pino i Vilalta, Joan (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Sáez, Llorenç (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Animal, de Biologia Vegetal i d'Ecologia) ; Aymerich, Pere ; Melero, Yolanda (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biologia Evolutiva, Ecologia i Ciències Ambientals)
Our understanding on the role of introduction pathways on plant invasions is incomplete because their interaction with other factors remains poorly studied. We contributed to filling this knowledge gap, by analysing temporal trends in pathway importance, pathway-specific differences in the invaded niche, and the effect of pathways on invasion success.

For decades we have been immersed in a constant change in our society, registered together with an increase in its degree of complexity. This greatly affects the currently prevailing educational axioms, making them obsolete, which implies, according to our hypothesis, the need for a process of revision and innovation of existing models.

Un grupo de investigadoras e investigadores internacionales ha llevado a cabo un estudio en la isla de Santo Tomé, Golfo de Guinea, para comprender la dinámica de los bosques afromontanos. Aunque estos bosques tropicales resistieron cambios climáticos hace 12. [...]
An international group of researchers conducted a study on the island of São Tomé, Gulf of Guinea, to understand the dynamics of the Afromontane forests. Although these tropical forests withstood climatic changes 12,500 years ago, the introduction of plant species in the last 200 years and the increase in charcoal particles suggest their vulnerability to human impacts and global climate change.
