How can native biodiversity buffer against plant invasions? | Q&A with Dr. Camille Delavaux

Did you know? About 10% of all non-native plants can become invasive and cause significant ecological and economic costs to the invaded ecosystems.
This is why we need to study their behaviour and occurrence. Above, Dr. Camille Delavaux explains our research trying to map the regions most at risk, what human activity has to do with invasion likelihood, and how native #biodiversity can help buffer against invasions.
