Ecosystem properties determined by plant functional group identity (2010, background): “…and composition of the plant community have been reported to influence numerous other ecosystem properties including soil nutrient availability (Hooper & Vitousek 1998), invasibility (Emery & Gross 2006), soil C accumulation (Fornara & Tilman 2008) and soil moisture (Hooper & Vitousek 1998).”
Consequences of dominance: a review of evenness effects on local and regional ecosystem processes. (2008, background): “…invasibility decreased with increasing evenness because communities are more invasion resistant when local niches are filled by representatives from available functional groups (Mwangi et al. 2007, Zavaleta and Hulvey 2007), but others found no effect of dominance per se (Emery and Gross 2006).”
Reducing redundancy in invasion ecology by integrating hypotheses into a single theoretical framework (2009, background): “…meltdown (Simberloff & Holle, 1999) can facilitate invasion, whereas others like biotic resistance (Parker & Hay, 2005), biotic containment (Levine et al., 2004) and interspecific competition (Burke & Grime, 1996), especially from dominant species (Emery & Gross, 2006), can constrain it (Table 2).”
Limiting similarity between invaders and dominant species in herbaceous plant communities? (2007, methodology): “Methods : In March 2004, I established 64 1 m × 1 m plots in an oldfield site at the Lux Arbor Reserve of Michigan State University’s W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) in south-west Michigan, USA (Barry County; 42.2833 ° N, 85.2768 ° W), as part of a larger experiment (Emery & Gross 2006).”
Overstorey tree species regulate colonization by native and exotic plants: a source of positive relationships between understorey diversity and invasibility (2008, background): “Relationships among overstorey tree species, understorey richness, and invasibility found in the present study reflect those found in old-field communities among dominant species identity, native richness, and invasibility (Emery & Gross, 2006).”
