(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with members from the U.K., Germany, Denmark and The Seychelles has found that physically removing all of the invasive plants in a given area allows native plants and pollinators to regain at least some of their former vitality. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes a study they carried out in the mountains in Seychelles, what they found, and what their results suggest about other efforts to improve the outlook for native plant species across the globe.
