Biodiversity is important for human flourishing, and declining worldwide. Invasions by non-native plant species as a result of human activity represent a threat to ecosystems around the world. The mechanisms of invasions are complex, and methods to predict the outcomes and trajectories of invasions are important and lacking. It is recognised that factors such as niche pre-emption, changes to disturbance regimes, and competitive trade-offs are important in determining the success of invasions and should be included in models. In this project, I will build on existing models of plant invasions, incorporating advances from theoretical community and population ecology, to improve predictions of the dynamics and impacts of future invasions.

生物多样性对于人类繁荣和全球衰退都很重要。人类活动导致的非本地植物物种入侵对世界各地的生态系统构成威胁。入侵的机制很复杂，预测入侵结果和轨迹的方法很重要但缺乏。人们认识到，生态位抢占、干扰制度的变化和竞争性权衡等因素对于决定入侵的成功很重要，应该纳入模型中。在这个项目中，我将在现有的植物入侵模型的基础上，结合理论界和种群生态学的进展，以改进对未来入侵的动态和影响的预测。
