Global functional shifts in trees driven by alien naturalization and native extinction | Synapse

⌘+K

Key Points

Functional shifts in tree species are driven by alien naturalization and native extinction, impacting biodiversity.
Evidence shows that the presence of invasive species now correlates with shifts in native tree functions, altering ecosystem dynamics.
Analysis of biogeographical data across various regions illustrates patterns of native extinction affecting tree species distributions.
These findings highlight the urgent need to address the impacts of invasive species and habitat loss on ecosystems.
