Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of seed-based ecological restoration experiments, here we demonstrate the potential of functional similarity, seeding density and priority effect in increasing invasion resistance. Our results indicate that native priority is the most promising mechanism to control invasion that can reduce the performance of invasive alien species by more than 50%. High-density seeding is effective in controlling invasive species, but threshold seeding rates may exist. Overall seeding functionally similar species do not have a significant effect. Generally, the impacts are more pronounced on perennial and grassy invaders and on the short-term. Our results suggest that biotic resistance can be best enhanced by the early introduction of native plant species during restoration. Seeding of a single species with high functional similarity to invasive alien species is unpromising, and instead, preference should be given to high-density multifunctional seed mixtures, possibly including native species favored by the priority effect. We highlight the need to integrate research across geographical regions, global invasive species and potential resistance mechanisms.A systematic review and meta-analyses of seed-based ecological restoration experiments identify native priority as a promising mechanism for controlling invasion of alien plant species, which can reduce the performance of invasive species by more than 50%.

AB - The existing plant trait databases’ applicability is limited for studies dealing with the flora and vegetation of the eastern and central part of Europe and for large-scale comparisons across regions, mostly because their geographical data coverage is limited and they incorporate records from several different sources, often from regions with markedly different climatic conditions. These problems motivated the compilation of a regional dataset for the flora of the Pannonian region (Eastern Central Europe). PADAPT, the Pannonian Dataset of Plant Traits relies on regional data sources and collates data on 54 traits and attributes of the plant species of the Pannonian region. The current version covers approximately 90% of the species of the region and consists of 126,337 records on 2745 taxa. By including species of the eastern part of Europe not covered by other databases, PADAPT can facilitate studying the flora and vegetation of the eastern part of the continent. Although data coverage is far from complete, PADAPT meets the longstanding need for a regional database of the Pannonian flora.

AB - A better understanding of factors controlling the distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) in differently stabi-lized pools in soils during ecosystem development is essential to more efficiently manage soil as a C sink and aid global warming mitigation. We, thus, investigated C and N stocks in bulk soil and differently stabilized soil fractions (free particulate organic matter (fPOM), micro-and macroaggregates, and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM)), in seven chronosequences comprising primary and secondary successions at various locations in Europe and tested the influence of multiple environmental parameters on these C and N stocks.Best-subset multiple regression indicated that plant litter production and succession age were of minor importance. Above a certain threshold of organic matter inputs to the soil, changes in the quantity of such inputs may have little direct effect on the partitioning of organic matter to various soil fractions. Instead, bio-physicochemical soil properties (such as pH and PLFA and clay contents) were the best predictors for both C and N stocks. We also found a shift in the relevance of biotic and abiotic factors from fPOM and the various aggregate fractions to MAOM, the latter being exclusively associated with pH and the clay content. This indicates that sites dominated by MAOM likely more slowly react to management interventions, such as increasing or diversifying organic matter inputs, than sites dominated by fractions more responsive to biotic factors, such as fPOM. Finally, as compared to primary successions, secondary successions were associated with higher C and N stocks in aggregate fractions, pointing towards better conditions for soil structure formation in the latter. Our results highlight the need to elucidate the form in which C and N exist in the soil for selection of proper management strategies and that soil biophysicochemical parameters may have a disparately larger impact on the partitioning of C and N to variously stabilized soil fractions than the rate of organic matter inputs.
