Invasion of communities by exotic plants is a significant threat to biodiversity globally. This proposal is to strengthen collaborative links between the Plant Invasion Research Laboratories of Leishman in Australia and Richardson in South Africa. Their current research seeks to understand strategies of invasive plants in novel environments using the framework of leaf carbon strategies. Australian plants invasive in South Africa and South African plants invasive in Australia provide an ideal model system. This collaborative research will enable better prediction of potential invaders, as well as providing important input for models of plant, ecosystem and biosphere responses to global change incorporating invasion dynamics.

外来植物对群落的入侵是对全球生物多样性的重大威胁。这项建议是为了加强澳大利亚利什曼和南非理查森的植物入侵研究实验室之间的合作联系。他们目前的研究旨在利用叶碳策略的框架来了解入侵植物在新环境中的策略。入侵南非的澳大利亚植物和入侵澳大利亚的南非植物提供了理想的模式系统。这项合作研究将能够更好地预测潜在的入侵者，并为植物，生态系统和生物圈对全球变化的反应模型提供重要的投入。
