Abstract
Invasive (plant) species are considered as one of the main
causes for the current global biodiversity crisis. In this
project, we will try to determine the factors that are
responsible for the strong expansion of invasive plant species.
We will focus on the population dynamics of invasive species
and the invasibility of communities, predominantly by using
field experiments.
