Restoration Ecology: Interventionist Approaches for Restoring and Maintaining Ecosystem Function in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change (2008, background): “However, the persistence of undesirable states such as those dominated by aggressive non-native plant species indicates that the system may be “stuck” and will require management intervention to move it to a more desirable state (45, 61).”
Exotic plants increase and native plants decrease with loss of foundation species in sagebrush steppe (2010, background): “Land disturbances, such as fire and conversion to cropland, have eliminated sagebrush and other dominant shrubs and increased exotic herbs in areas of historic sagebrush steppe (Piemeisel 1951; Noss et al. 1995; Knick and Rotenberry 1997; Kulmatiski 2006).”
Soil History as a Primary Control on Plant Invasion in Abandoned Agricultural Fields (2006, background): “We predicted that soil history would be more important than competition in determining exotic and native plant distributions because exotic and native distributions observed on the landscape were delimited by agricultural boundaries (Kulmatiski 2006).”
