• Expansion pathways of the exotic common reed (Phragmites australis): a historical and genetic analysis (2007, background): “…often have severe consequences for plant and animal diversity and may alter the ecological functions of wetlands (Keller, 2000; Meyerson et al ., 2000; Lathrop et al ., 2003; Rooth et al ., 2003; Windham & Meyerson, 2003; Mal & Narine, 2004; Silliman & Bertness, 2004; Minchinton et al ., 2006).”
• Centuries of human-driven change in salt marsh ecosystems. (2009, background): “An aggressive, European P. australis haplotype has increased in abundance in North American marshes over the past century, outcompeting native plants (Minchinton et al. 2006, Orson 1999, Saltonstall 2002).”
• Uncertain future of New England salt marshes (2011, background): “…and disturbance (Minchinton 2002, Silliman & Bertness 2004), competitively excluding other salt marsh plants and forming a dense monoculture (Minchinton et al. 2006) that raises the marsh platform by increasing sedimentation and litter deposition, and lowers the water table by wicking away…”
• Litter legacy increases the competitive advantage of invasive Phragmites australis in New England wetlands (2011, background): “In an earlier study conducted in this marsh, two forb species responded similarly to litter removal within and outside Phragmites monocultures, suggesting that the mechanism underlying the distribution of rare annuals is not species-specific in this invaded landscape ( Minchinton et al. 2006 ).”
