Functional Divergence Drives Invasibility of Plant Communities at the Edges of a Resource Availability Gradient
Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are a serious threat to biodiversity, severely affecting natural habitats and species assemblages. However, no consistent empirical evidence emerged on which functional traits or trait combination may foster community invasibility. Novel insights on the functional featur...
