Using priority effects to manipulate competitive relationships in restoration (2017, background): “Restoration Ecology 8:10–17 Chase JM (2003) Community assembly: when should history matter? Oecologia 136:489–498 Cleland EE, Esch E, McKinney J (2015) Priority effects vary with species identity and origin in an experiment varying the timing of seed arrival.”
COMPETITION BETWEEN NATIVE PERENNIAL AND EXOTIC ANNUAL GRASSES: IMPLICATIONS FOR AN HISTORICAL INVASION (2004, unknown): “…annual grasses have been shown to reduce growth and reproductive output of N. pulchra seedlings and adults in the Central Valley (Dyer and Rice 1997, Brown and Rice 2000), the San Ynez Valley of California (Hamilton et al. 1999), and in interior Coast Range valleys (Bartolome and Gemmill 1981).”
Promotion of weed species diversity and reduction of weed seedbanks with conservation tillage and crop rotation (2006, background): “Although certain perennial weed species can pose difficulties for management during their first year of growth, perennials in general may be less competitive for the immediately available resources than annuals (Brown and Rice 2000; Dyer and Rice 1997, 1999; Lodge 2000).”
