Measuring competitive impact: Joint‐species modelling of invaded plant communities

Non‐native species can dominate plant communities by competitively displacing native species, or because environmental change creates conditions favourable to non‐native species but unfavourable to native species. We need to disentangle these mechanisms so that management can target competitively dominant species and reduce their impacts. Joint‐species distribution models (JSDMs) can potentially quantify competitive impacts by simultaneously...
