Review synthesizes predictive frameworks for invasive plants, highlighting biological traits and habitat compatibility to improve ecological management.

Key Points

Synthesize predictive approaches in invasion ecology to optimize prevention, early detection, and eradication strategies for invasive plant species.
Categorized predictive methods into five complementary frameworks: stochastic approaches, empirical taxon-specific history, biological trait evaluations, environmental compatibility assessments, and experimental manipulations.
Assessed comparative biological characteristics between non-invasive plant taxa and successful invaders across generalized and habitat-specific systems.
Identified stochastic parameters, including initial population size, residence time, and introduction frequency, alongside environmental matching, as key determinants of plant invasion success.
Established that screening biological traits of plant taxa yields robust, predictable models for identifying invasive potential prior to widespread establishment.
