Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “Effects of such species, which alter both soil N pools and fluxes, are expected to remain long after removal as a result of the slow release of available N from the large soil organic N pool ( Yelenik et al. 2007 ), and because increasingly recalcitrant N fractions dominate turnover dynamics (Maron ”
Belowground mutualists and the invasive ability of Acacia longifolia in coastal dunes of Portugal (2009, background): “Actually, nitrogen enrichment is one of the consequences of the invasion by exotic legumes and can profoundly transform the native communities (Fogarty and Facelli 1999; McQueen et al. 2006; Yelenik et al. 2007).”
Ecophysiological traits associated with the competitive ability of invasive Australian acacias (2011, unknown): “…+ 0 Portugal ND ND + Rodrı́guez-Echeverrı́a et al., 2009 A. saligna CFR + + + Witkowski, 1991b CFR ND ND + Musil, 1993 CFR ND ND + Stock et al., 1995 CFR + + + Yelenik et al., 2004, 2007 Diversity and Distributions, 17, 898–910, ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 903 1994b; Pasquet-Kok et al., 2010).”
Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants (2014, background): “2004), although direct measurement of increased N-input remains limited (Ehrenfeld 2010), and there are cases where invasive N-fixing symbioses do not increase total N (Hickey and Osborne 1998; Yelenik et al. 2007) or even decrease N availability (Wolf et al.”
Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “The available evidence indicates that N-fixation rates vary with the invader and site (Rodr?guez-Echeverr?a et al. 2009, Yelenik et al. 2007).”
Seed banks of invasive Australian Acacia species in South Africa: Role in invasiveness and options for management (2008, background): “…by very intense fires in dense stands (Euston-Brown et al., 2002); (iii) especially in fynbos they change soil chemistry (Stock et al., 1995; Yelenik et al., 2004, 2007) which transforms ecosystems leading to, among other things, increased invasion by alien grasses (Richardson et al.,…”
Short- and long-term impacts of Acacia longifolia invasion on the belowground processes of a Mediterranean coastal dune ecosystem (2008, unknown): “Depending on the species, life form and system invaded, the effects of N2-fixing invasive species can be different (Stock et al., 1995; Yelenik et al., 2007).”
Effects of exotic invasive trees on nitrogen cycling: a case study in Central Spain (2009, background): “result was reported by (Yelenik et al. 2007) who found that the N-rich litter of the exotic Acacia saligna invading the South African fynbos did not decompose faster than the N-poor native litter.”
Alien plant invasion and their impact on indigenous species diversity at global scale: A review (2010, background): “Since these impacts result from differences in traits between the exotic and resident species, novel physiological traits such as nitrogen cycling may cause large alterations in ecosystem function (Yelenik et al., 2007).”
Jack‐of‐all‐trades and master of many? How does associated rhizobial diversity influence the colonization success of Australian Acacia species? (2011, background): “Furthermore, these species have large impacts on invaded communities mainly through altering nutrient content and cycling (e.g. Yelenik et al., 2007; Liao et al., 2008; Le Maitre et al., 2011).”
Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “Many changes are directly attributable to key traits of Acacia species: their rapid growth rates and ability to out-compete native plants (Morris et al., 2011); their capacity to accumulate high biomass; large, persistent seed banks; and their capacity to fix nitrogen (Yelenik et al., 2007).”
