Models of experimentally derived competitive effects predict biogeographical differences in the abundance of invasive and native plant species.

Mono-dominance by invasive species provides opportunities to explore determinants of plant distributions and abundance; however, linking mechanistic results from small scale experiments to patterns in nature is difficult. We used experimentally derived competitive effects of an invader in North Amer...
