- Extent and Reproductive Mechanisms of Phragmites australis Spread in Brackish Wetlands in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland (USA) (2010, background): “australis rhizomes can break off and be transported by water to lodge in wrack piles where they sprout and start new patches (Minchinton 2002).”
- Effects of small-scale disturbance on invasion success in marine communities (2007, background): “Minchinton (2002) found that mats of stranded wrack (dead plant material) created patches of open space that enhanced the seaward spread of Phragmites australis in a coastal New England marsh.”
- Spread of invasive Phragmites australis in estuaries with differing degrees of development: genetic patterns, Allee effects and interpretation (2010, background): “These rhizome fragments can become lodged in wrack piles, rafts of floating vegetation fragments that wash up into wetlands, where they can sprout and start new patches (Minchinton 2002).”
- Litter legacy increases the competitive advantage of invasive Phragmites australis in New England wetlands (2011, background): “fall to the ground (wrack litter, hereafter wrack) often get lodged within the stand matrix and form persistent mats at the interface of Phragmites stands and resident turfs ( Minchinton 2002 ).”
- Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “(Tolley and Christian 1999; Minchinton 2002).”
- Where temperate meets tropical: multi‐factorial effects of elevated CO2, nitrogen enrichment, and competition on a mangrove‐salt marsh community (2008, background): “In addition to large-scale events, small-scale disturbances such as wrack burial (Pennings & Richards, 1998; Fischer et al., 2000; Minchinton, 2002; Silliman et al., 2005), sediment burial (Langlois et al.”
- Mechanisms of exclusion of native coastal marsh plants by an invasive grass (2006, background): “The negative impact of litter on the establishment of plants is multifaceted (see Facelli & Pickett 1991; Minchinton 2002a), but it is likely that litter suspended by the tides simply rips out or smothers fragile, recently established seedlings.”
- Uncertain future of New England salt marshes (2011, background): “P. australis spreads rapidly, facilitated by freshwater runoff, nutrients, and disturbance (Minchinton 2002, Silliman & Bertness 2004), competitively excluding other salt marsh plants and forming a dense monoculture (Minchinton et al. 2006) that raises the marsh platform by increasing sedimentation…”
- Nitrogen Uptake by Native and Invasive Temperate Coastal Macrophytes: Importance of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen (2010, background): “2002), wrack disturbance (Minchinton 2002a), and increased precipitation (Minchinton 2002b).”
