Allelopathy: a tool for weed management in forest restoration (2012, background): “Establishment of exotic C4 grasses tends to be limited to disturbed habitats (Hooper et al. 2004; Leung et al. 2009; MacDonald 2004).”
Physical and biological feedbacks of deforestation (2012, background): “One example where a state shift has been documented is in Southeast Asia where a single grass species now dominates soils once covered by moist tropical forest across approximately 300,000 km2 [MacDonald, 2004; Nepstad et al., 2008].”
Climate change increases risk of plant invasion in the Eastern United States (2009, background): “In the western United States, for example, Bradley (2009b) used climatic habitat predictor variables to hypothesize that spring and summer precipitation affect invasive cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) Fig.”
Interactions among Amazon land use, forests and climate: prospects for a near-term forest tipping point (2008, background): “The potential of grasses to displace extensive areas of forest is best exemplified in Southeast Asia, where a single grass species (Imperata cylindrica) now dominates soils once covered by moist tropical forest across approximately 300 000 km(2) (MacDonald 2004).”
