Sahara Sahel FoodsNov 15

While Arne Victor Garvi's work originally focused on species from all dry regions of the world, the conclusion eventually came that exotic species, whilst degrading the ecosystems, are not any better adapted to the Saharo-Sahelian climate than indigenous ones. He therefore switched to working exclusively with native plants.

As climate changes, ecologic zones and habitats shift, and guess what? Who could have predicted this? Oh, right; EVERYbody. https://www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2025-04-23/as-new-england-waters-warm-invasive-sea-squirts-move-in

As New England waters warm, invasive sea squirts move in

Researchers say they're seeing more of these colorful blobs growing on docks, but they're not the only invasive marine species that could be spreading along New England coasts. And climate change may be partly to blame.

Chunqiang Wei et al. found that #Plant species of higher #IntrinsicGrowthAbility suffered greater negative #Soil effects, plant traits such as intrinsic growth ability, other than #PhylogeneticRelatedness, could be reliable #Predictors for plant responses to #SoilBiota, the soil biota on average had greater negative impacts on the #ExoticSpecies, particularly the #PerennialSpecies, than on the native species.

Certain invasive exotic species, such as the red swamp crayfish, are harmful to our environment because they transmit crayfish plague to native species. But there are also non-native fish and crayfish that are not harmful.

“Fescue toxicity is the most devastating livestock disorder east of the Mississippi,".....................

"Friendly fescue hit the market in 2000, developed by Pennington Seed Inc"..............

Hamilton and Steele have decided to bet on biodiversity.
Instead of a year-round monoculture of fescue, they have
a biodiverse mix of warm- and cool-season grasses, along with wildflowers.

This grass has toxic effects on US livestock, and it’s spreading

As warming temperatures enable tall fescue to move northward, scientists and ranchers are racing to stop its expansion.
