Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “…can be explained in terms of the direct effects of foliage removal, and indirect effects of changes in foliage phenology, physiological processes (e.g. photosynthesis), and foliar C and N dynamics (e.g. Brockerhoff et al., 2006; Lovett et al., 2006a; Schmitz, 2008; Nabity et al., 2009;Fig.”
Hemlock woolly adelgid in the southern Appalachians: Control strategies, ecological impacts, and potential management responses (2013, background): “…hemlock trees of all sizes and ages (Elliott and Vose, 2011) throughout the N.E. and mid-Atlantic region of the US, but especially in the southern Appalachian region, where HWA is particularly virulent (Lovett et al., 2006; Roberts et al., 2009; Nuckolls et al., 2009; Elliott and Vose, 2011).”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “Troublingly, a number of other abundant American tree species are presently experiencing problems from introduced pathogens (von Broembsen, 1989; Flannery, 2001; Rizzo et al., 2002; Lovett et al., 2006).”
The role of biotic interactions in shaping distributions and realised assemblages of species: implications for species distribution modelling (2012, background): “For granivorous species, a study on the acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) in the Southwestern United States and along the Pacific coast has found that the distributional limit of this bird species is set by sites where the diversity Biological Reviews (2012) 000–000 © 2012 The Authors.”
Eradication of invasive forest insects: concepts, methods, costs and benefits (2010, background): “Invasions of exotic (non-native, non-indigenous) insects and the diseases they carry represent a major threat to trees and to forest ecosystems (e.g. Liebhold et al., 1995; Mack et al., 2000; Lovett et al., 2006; Brockerhoff et al., 2010).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “The last two decades have seen an increase in studies addressing the economic and ecological impacts of alien insects in forests, and the publication of several important reviews (e.g. Liebhold et al. 1995; Chornesky et al. 2005; Ellison et al. 2005; Lovett et al. 2006; Kenis et al. 2009).”
Leaf phenology and freeze tolerance of the invasive shrub Amur honeysuckle and potential native competitors (2009, background): “Non-native invasive plants cause significant and often deleterious changes to ecosystem structure, function and composition (Pimental et al. 2000, Evans et al. 2001, Ehrenfeld 2003, Lovett et al. 2006).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “forests of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) caused by invasive chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) or of hemlock (Tsuga spp) by the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae), has led to replacement by other tree species that produce higher quality residues and are therefore likely to promot”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “38: 834–843 (2008) doi:10.1139/X07-196 # 2008 NRC Canada 1995; Lovett et al. 2006).”
Ecological impacts of non-indigenous invasive fungi as forest pathogens (2008, background): “Short-term impacts include defoliation, seed crop failures, and temporary shifts in energy flows within ecosystems; long-term impacts include widespread host mortality and reduction in frequency, with subsequent replacement by other species (Lovett et al. 2006).”
NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, background): “…should then be considered as one more factor to add to the array of perturbations and stresses (i.e., acid rain [Likens et al. 1996], pests and pathogens [Lovett et al. 2006], climatic change [Iverson and Prasad 1998]) that are already altering the composition and function of these ecosystems.”
The spread of invasive species and infectious disease as drivers of ecosystem change (2008, background): “Short-term impacts include effects on light penetration, nitrogen (N) cycling, and primary production; the long-term effects of defoliation are unclear, but could involve interactions with other stressors such as pathogens or atmospheric N deposition (Lovett et al. 2006).”
Ecology of forest insect invasions (2017, background): “…death can affect light penetration, transpiration, carbon sequestration and storage, water drainage, nitrogen and carbon flows to the soil and into waterways, changes in stream temperatures, and various other impacts (Stadler et al. 2005; Lovett et al. 2006; Kenis et al. 2009; Boyd et al. 2013).”
