Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Algoma University
$100,000.00
Invasive Species Biology
FY 2024-25
Summary
Exotic invasive species represent a major environmental disturbance with important ramifications
to the economy and society. The Canadian and Ontario governments have called for research to
better understand and predict impacts of invasive species. A major concern is their long-term
consequences to soil and plant health and ecosystem processes. This research program will
continue to assess long-term effects of exotic invasive plants on soil biotic diversity and function. It
will investigate mechanisms whereby plant-biotic interactions can cause population declines of
native and invasive plants and, in this context, expand into considering climate change factors.
