Casuarina invasions: a multi-scale assessment of an important tree genus

Descripción

Understanding the processes that drive the invasion of non-native species is often essential for effective management. This thesis focuses on Casuarina spp. – an economically and ecologically important tree genus with taxa that have been widely disseminated by humans. I explore the effects certain taxa can have on community dynamics in recipient environments, investigate the factors that mediate invasion of Casuarina species, and from this aim to develop recommendations for managing the group. First, I assessed the global introduction history, invasion ecology and the evolution of management approaches of Casuarina. Ten of the 14 species in the genus have been introduced outside their native ranges to over 150 countries, but only three species are recorded as naturalized or invasive. As with other groups there is a correlation between native range size and invasiveness – the three invasive species also have the largest introduced ranges. Propagule pressure explains much more of the variance in observed invasiveness between Casuarina taxa than any known combination of life-history traits. Large-scale plantings of casuarinas in some climatically suitable areas have not yet resulted…
