Diversity declines in Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) patches (2009, background): “It exhibits phenotypic plasticity (Claridge and Franklin, 2003; Cole and Weltzin, 2004), apparently able to compensate for suboptimal levels of one resource when there was a sufficient supply of some other resource.”
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 plant removal method determines native plant community responses (2009, background): “Ferns are an important component of the herbaceous layer in eastern deciduous forests, particularly in moist, shaded habitats where Microstegium occurs (Winter, Schmitt & Edwards 1982; Cole & Weltzin 2004).”
Non-native grass invasion alters native plant composition in experimental communities (2010, background): “It is has been found in forest openings and bottomland areas and along roads, streams, and trails (Barden 1987; Cole and Weltzin 2004) in more than 20 states (USDA and NRCS 2005).”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, unknown): “The ability of Microstegium vimineum to act as a passenger of disturbance associated with roads, logging and deer over-population is important to its spread in many natural areas (Barden 1987; Cole and Weltzin 2004; Knight et al. 2009; Rauschert et al. 2010).”
Light limitation creates patchy distribution of an invasive grass in eastern deciduous forests (2005, unknown): “, Lindera benzoin) within relatively undisturbed closed-canopy forest stands (Cole 2003; Cole and Weltzin 2004).”
The habitat and conduit functions of roads in the spread of three invasive plant species (2009, unknown): “These observations are consistent with previous work identifying light and bare soil as requirements for establishment (Cole and Weltzin 2004, 2005; Glasgow and Matlack 2007).”
The Interaction Between Propagule Pressure, Habitat Suitability and Density‐Dependent Reproduction in Species Invasion (2012, background): “…1987, Gibson et al. 2002, Oswalt and Oswalt 2007, Christen and Matlack 2009, Huebner 2010a, b, Rauschert et al. 2010, Warren et al. 2011a), though greater distances are possible via roads and waterways (Gibson et al. 2002, Cole and Weltzin 2004, 2005, Christen and Matlack 2009, Huebner 2010a, b).”
