Biological invasions in ancient woodlands

项目目的/目标：本项目旨在记录凤仙花入侵古林地的影响，并通过研究以下目标确定控制凤仙花入侵古林地的管理策略：第一章-通过系统回顾评估现有文献问题1：我们对凤仙花对林地的影响有何理解？问题2：目前用来管理凤仙花的控制措施有多有效？它们的影响是什么？第二章-评估凤仙花丰度对当地地上植物和土壤种子库的生态影响问题1：凤仙花入侵如何影响古代林地的当地地上植物？问题2：我腺花入侵如何影响古代林地土壤种子库的物种组成、丰富度和丰富度？b)土壤动物和无脊椎动物群落问题：I.腺花入侵如何影响无脊椎动物物种组成，古林地的丰富度和丰富度？第3章--非化学控制管理的有效性评估？问题：非化学控制在减少黄毛虫丰度方面的有效性如何？第4章--评估黄毛虫管理对当地地上和地下植物和动物群落的影响。问题：每种管理方法如何影响古老林地的本地植物和无脊椎动物群落？第五章--鹿类食草性是否表现出对古林地本土植物的偏好。问题：当鹿作为一种管理方法时，本土植物和鹿类植物之间的竞争动力是什么？

Project aims/objectives:This project aims to document the impact of Impatiens glandulifera invasion in ancient woodlands and identify management strategies for controlling I. glandulifera invasion in ancient woodland by studying the following objectives:Chapter 1 - Assessing existing literature through a systematic review Question 1: What is our understanding of the impact of Impatiens glandulifera on woodlands? Question 2: How effective are current controls used to manage Impatiens glandulifera and what are their impacts?Chapter 2 - Assessment of the ecological impact of I. glandulifera abundance on:a) Native aboveground flora and the soil seed bankQuestion 1: How does I. glandulifera invasion impact the native aboveground flora in ancient woodlands?Question 2: How does I. glandulifera invasion affect species composition, richness and abundance of the soil seed bank in ancient woodlands?b) Soil fauna and invertebrate communitiesQuestion: How does I. glandulifera invasion affect invertebrate species composition, richness and abundance in ancient woodlands?Chapter 3 - Assessment of the effectiveness of non-chemical controls to manage I. glanduliferaQuestion: How effective are non-chemical controls at reducing the abundance of I. glandulifera?Chapter 4 - Assessment of the impact of I. glandulifera management on native aboveground and below ground flora and faunal communities.Question: How are each management method affecting the native flora and invertebrate communities of ancient woodland? Chapter 5 - Assessment whether herbivory by deer shows a preference to ancient woodland native flora in the presence of I. glandulifera.Question: What are the competition dynamics between native flora and I. glandulifera when deer are used as a management method?
