Deer and Invasive Plant Species Suppress Forest Herbaceous Communities and Canopy Tree Regeneration (2011, background): “vimineum may increase the productivity of resident herbaceous plant species (Flory et al. 2007; Flory 2010).”
Experimental evidence for indirect facilitation among invasive plants (2014, background): “Microstegium is a C4 annual grass that colonizes roadsides, trails and disturbed areas, but can also invade intact, closed-canopy forests and riparian areas (Flory 2010; Warren, Wright & Bradford 2011).”
Experimental plant invasion reduces arthropod abundance and richness across multiple trophic levels (2010, background): “It is a persistent invader that can grow in diverse light environments (Flory 2010) and is found in riparian zones, flood plains, damp fields, swamps and alongside human-disturbed areas (Fairbrothers and Gray 1972, Cole and Weltzin 2004).”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, unknown): “However, experiments demonstrating recovery of native plants once Microstegium was removed from natural areas (Flory 2010; Flory and Clay 2009) and increases in native species richness with removal of this species from a wetland restoration (DeMeester”
Invasive plant removal method determines native plant community responses (2009, methodology): “Multiple methods have been used to control Microstegium, including mowing, fire, selective (grass-specific) and non-selective (glyphosate) herbicides, and hand-pulling (Tu 2000; Czarapata 2005), but studies testing the effectiveness of different treatments for removing invasions and the specific res”
Non-native grass invasion alters native plant composition in experimental communities (2010, unknown): “Because Microstegium grows at high densities and produces abundant biomass (Flory 2009), particularly after natural or anthropogenic disturbances (Glasgow and Matlack 2007; Oswalt and Oswalt 2007; Marshall and Buckley 2008), we hypothesized that invaded plots would have reduced native species biomas”
