Does the invasive species Reynoutria japonica have an impact on soil and flora in urban wastelands? (2009, background): “Floristic composition (Kergue ´len 2003), floristic richness, vegetation cover and soil parameters were assessed along four transects arranged in a cross shape, running from the centre of the invaded area towards the peripheral uninvaded area, at right-angles to the ‘invasion front’ (see Wearne and ”
Introduced invertebrates are important prey for a generalist predator (2005, background): “Some plant and invertebrate invasions are known to indirectly affect predator populations negatively (Suarez & Case, 2002; Maerz et al ., 2005).”
Classical biological control for the protection of natural ecosystems (2010, background): “Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed) invades riparian areas in Europe and the northern USA, damaging native flora and associated fauna, especially amphibians (Maerz et al., 2005b; Gerber et al., 2008).”
What is the “real” impact of invasive plant species? (2013, methodology): “To demonstrate this, we collected impact data from several studies that met the requirements for the impact function (ie the impact metric must be collected at a range of coverage values) (Maerz et al. 2005; Angeloni et al. 2006).”
The impact of invasive knotweed species (Reynoutria spp.) on the environment: review and research perspectives (2017, unknown): “Green frogs deposited in Japanese knotweed stands (n = 17) did not gain mass during a period of 38 h, probably because of low food availability, while 9 out of 16 frogs deposited in adjacent non-invaded sites gained mass (Maerz et al. 2005).”
Niche construction by the invasive Asian knotweeds (species complex Fallopia): impact on activity, abundance and community structure of denitrifiers and nitrifiers (2011, unknown): “In addition to its impact on flora and fauna in invaded sites (Hathaway 1999; Maertz et al. 2005; Kappes et al. 2007; Dassonville et al. 2009), F. japonica considerably increases productivity (up to ten times that of uninvaded vegetation) and alters nutrient uptake in invaded sites (Dassonville et”
The life history and host range of the Japanese knotweed psyllid, Aphalara itadori Shinji: potentially the first classical biological weed control agent for the European Union. (2009, background): “) Ronse Decraene var japonica (Polygonaceae) is arguably the most troublesome invasive alien plant in Europe and North America (Weber, 2003) and has serious consequences for biodiversity (Maerz et al., 2005; Gerber et al., 2008; Topp et al., 2008).”
The biology of invasive alien plants in Canada. 5. Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. & Zucc. [=Fallopia japonica (Houtt.) Ronse Decr.]. (2006, background): “A 50-m transect through a P. cuspidatum stand showed percent cover of native vegetation to vary from 100% at the invasion front to 0% within the P. cuspidatum canopy (Maerz et al. 2005).”
