Many hundreds of people have engaged with our collaborative studies using expert-elicitation approaches through facilitated discussions to dynamically inform decision-making within the field of biological invasions. We draw on our experiences to outline ways that allow the inclusion of multiple viewpoints within expert-elicitation while limiting or transparently documenting potential bias.

- - The EU has published its first list of invasive alien species (IAS) that threaten biodiversity, which will require legal action and ongoing updates as new threats emerge.
- - A systematic consensus horizon scanning process was used, involving international experts who identified and ranked 329 potential IAS not yet in the EU based on their risk of arrival, establishment, spread, and impact on biodiversity.
- - The outcome was a refined list of 66 potential IAS categorized by risk level (very high, high, medium), along with details on their potential negative impacts and regions within the EU that may be affected.
Soil microorganisms act as gatekeepers for soil-atmosphere carbon exchange by balancing the accumulation and release of soil organic matter. However, poor understanding of the mechanisms responsible hinders the development of effective land management strategies to enhance soil carbon storage. Here we empirically test the link between microbial ecophysiological traits and topsoil carbon content across geographically distributed soils and land use contrasts.
