Figure 3. Factors involved in future research directions for predicting pathogen susceptibility that will result in invader decline: Model accuracy (1) is expected to increase as questions associated with plant traits (2), pathogen traits (3) and the influence of context dependence (4) on such traits either independently or through their interaction (5) are addressed. Furthermore, residence time (6) is a key component of future research (see Table 3 for a list of research questions).
