生物入侵是全球环境变化的重要贡献者(Dawson和Schrama,2016)。全球化导致外来物种大量引入新的地区,对生态系统造成有害影响(Hanfling和Kollmann,2002年)。入侵植物可以取代原生植物,使生态系统退化,并对人类健康产生负面影响(Zhu et al.,2018年; Xie等人,2020年)。植物入侵也可能导致全球生物系统的同质化和全球生物多样性的丧失(Soulé,1991;洛克伍德和Mckinney,2001)。解决这些问题需要资金,据保守估计,入侵物种每年给全球经济造成的损失超过1.4万亿美元(Pimentel et al.,2001年)。近年来,另一个变得更加明显的巨大威胁是人类引起的气候变化。生物入侵和气候变化之间的相互作用可能对环境产生严重影响(Crowl等人,2008年)。剧烈的环境变化已经加速了入侵者的传播(Demertzis和Iliadis,2018),并促进了以前居住的本地物种的扩张(Kurz等人,2008年)。在过去的二十年里,人们对全球变化和植物入侵之间的相互作用越来越感兴趣(图1)。为了更充分地理解这些联系,我们必须加强对促进入侵的机制的理解(Dai et al.,2020年)。具体而言,有必要研究这些机制何时以及如何产生最严重的入侵。本研究主题汇集了关于植物入侵与全球变化(特别是引进植物与非生物和生物环境之间)之间相互作用的文章。
Biological invasions are a significant contributor to global environmental change (Dawson and Schrama, 2016). Globalization has resulted in a significant increase in the introduction of alien species to new areas with deleterious effects on ecosystems (Hanfling and Kollmann, 2002). Invasive plants can displace native plants, degrade ecosystems, and negatively impact human health (Zhu et al., 2018; Xie et al., 2020). Plant invasionsmay also contribute to the homogenization of biological systems worldwide and global biodiversity loss (Soulé, 1991; Lockwood and Mckinney, 2001). Funding is required to deal with these problems, and it is conservatively estimated that invasive species cost the worldwide economy more than $1.4 trillion per year (Pimentel et al., 2001). In recent times, another great threat that has become much more apparent is humaninduced climate change. Interactions between biological invasions and climate change can have severe environmental impacts (Crowl et al., 2008). Drastic environmental changes have already accelerated the spread of invaders (Demertzis and Iliadis, 2018), and promoted the expansion of previously resident native species (Kurz et al., 2008). Over the last two decades, there has been increasing interest in the interactions between global changes and plant invasions (Figure 1). To more fully appreciate these links, it is imperative that we enhance our understanding of the mechanisms that promote invasions (Dai et al., 2020). Specifically, it is necessary to examine when and how these mechanisms produce the most serious of invasions. This Research Topic assembles articles focusing on interactions between plant invasions and global changes (particularly between introduced plants and the abiotic and biotic environment).
