	abstract = {Airports are anthropogenic settlements which can harbour large portions of open habitats, including grasslands, which may host high species richness. Milano Malpensa Airport is the second main Italian airfield. One of its main open habitats is lowland dry heathland, frequently mown to fulfil aircraft safety requirements. The same habitat was formerly common in the surroundings of the airport, but it is nowadays endangered by management cessation and consequent tree (mainly Prunus serotina) encroachment. We compared heathland structure and vegetation composition in Calluna vulgaris populations within Malpensa Airport and outside it, where three degradation stages (identified by increasing P. serotina encroachments) were studied. We performed 52 surveys (10 within the airport, 18 in the less encroached heathland, 12 in the intermediate, and 12 in the most encroached) where we visually estimated the percentage cover of all plant species and we assessed heather density and height. Heathlands inside the airport (subjected to up to two cuts per year at 5 cm above ground) were richer in plant species and with a higher rejuvenation rate, but with a relevant cover of alien species and of plants typical of more intensive and disturbed grasslands. Among the heathlands outside the airfield, the two with the highest encroachment harboured few, tall, degenerate heather individuals, and were invaded by P. serotina and Molinia arundinacea. Among all, the heathland showing the best habitat conservation status was that outside the airport with the lowest P. serotina encroachment. There, heather population structure assumed a typical shape of young communities, likely due to the high light availability related to the low tree species cover. Additionally, the limited presence of bare soil compared to heathland inside Malpensa likely hampered the colonization by both alien species and pioneer plants of other environments. These outcomes showed that an intensive cutting regime in lowland dry heathlands can counteract habitat loss due to tree encroachment, which has been confirmed as one of the main threats to its conservation. However, cut frequency and height should be carefully determined to hinder the expansion of plants belonging to other habitats while encouraging the typical floristic composition.},

	abstract = {Prunus serotina is one of the worst invasive alien plants throughout Europe, able to rapidly replace autochthonous vegetation and form monospecific stands both in open lands and forested areas. Invasion by shrubs and trees due to abandonment of traditional management practices, is one of the major threats to the conservation of “European dry heaths”, a priority habitat included in the Council Directive 92/43/EEC. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of P. serotina invasion on heathland vegetation in terms of species composition and cover, with special regards to the dominant Calluna vulgaris and Molinia arundinacea, in an area of North-Western Italy subjected to massive invasion by this alien species. We collected data on the plant cover along an invasion gradient in 10 linear transects running from P. serotina invaded stands towards non invaded ones. P. serotina differently affected the heathland vegetation. In particular, the cover of C. vulgaris and other typical heathland species such as Cytisus scoparius sharply decreased at P. serotina cover increasing. On the contrary, positive or no effect of P. serotina cover was found on M. arundinacea. Our results showed that shaded conditions created by the alien tree disfavored light demanding C. vulgaris and C. scoparius, enabling fast grower M. arundinacea to outcompete and replace them. This study emphasizes the urgency to develop management strategies to effectively control P. serotina spread in the area and to restore typical heathland species.},

	abstract = {Although closely related, Impatiens glandulifera and Impatiens balfourii differ in their invasiveness in Europe; only the former is highly invasive there. Following the assumptions of the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), we tested whether these differences may be explained by the levels of seed infestation by pathogenic fungi. Using seeds collected along the Swiss-Italian border, we recorded four true pathogens of seeds: Fusarium culmorum, F. oxysporum, F. sporotrichoides, and Giberella avenacea. In Italy the seeds of I. balfourii were infected by fungal pathogens more often than those of I. glandulifera, while in Switzerland both species were under the same level of pressure. However, the overall differences in pathogen abundance were consistent with the ERH: seeds of the more invasive species were attacked less. This could be a result of differences between the communities of fungal pathogens attacking the seeds of both species in each country. The number of colonies of secondary pathogens (Cladosporium cladosporioides, Alternaria alternata) correlated negatively with the number of colonies of true pathogens; we suggest that the secondary pathogens may have prevented the occurrence of the true pathogens. The reason for the between-country differences in the fungal pathogen communities is unclear. A possible explanation is that Italy and Switzerland differ in their road and green-area maintenance work schemes, which may have influenced pathogen pressure on seeds. This study is one of the few that offers results indicating that release from enemies may be crucial to the invasion success of plants as early as the seed stage.},
