Introduction history and species characteristics partly explain naturalization success of North American woody species in Europe (2009, background): “However, few studies included reasonably accurate data on both the time since introduction (i.e. in contrast to the time since first record in the wild, which is frequently used) and propagule pressure (Mulvaney 2001; Krivánek et al. 2006; Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007a, b) to test this.”
Prevalence of alien versus native species of woody plants in Berlin differs between habitats and at different scales. (2013, background): “Our study highlights the important role of horticulture in plant invasions by repeatedly introducing and encouraging the planting of ornamentals (Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007, Kowarik & von der Lippe 2007).”
Novel urban ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. (2011, background): “Cities are outstanding points of entry as well as foci for the secondary release of introduced species, with trade, traffic, and horticulture as most prominent dispersal pathways (Hodkinson and Thompson, 1997; Dehnen-Schmutz et al., 2007; Kowarik and von der Lippe, 2007).”
Gene Flow, Risk Assessment and the Environmental Release of Transgenic Plants (2008, background): “As has been mentioned, introduced ornamental plants are particularly prone to escape from cultivation, as they are grown over wide areas, in many locations as a result of use in home gardens and landscaping (Dehnen-Schmutz et al., 2007).”
Potential distribution range of invasive plant species in Spain (2012, background): “For example, market availability (i.e. sold in many nurseries) and frequency (i.e. sold very often) are significant determinants of invasion by traded ornamental plant species (Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007).”
Correlates of naturalization and occupancy of introduced ornamentals in Germany. (2008, background): “Early stages of the invasion process – namely escape from cultivation and naturalization – are, however, less often examined (Reichard and Hamilton, 1997; Goodwin et al., 1999; Pyšek et al., 2003; Dehnen-Schmutz et al., 2007b; Essl, 2007; Milbau and Stout, 2008).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Alien Plants (2018, unknown): “Furthermore, to better understand the importance of species characteristics and historical factors in invasions, we need data on alien species that were introduced but failed to establishnaturalized (Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007, Maurel et al. 2016), at least until now.”
The ecology, geopolitics, and economics of managing Lymantria dispar in the United States (2012, background): “With the current trends in global trade and travel, new species will likely continue to arrive to new areas (Levine and D’Antonio 2003; Work et al. 2005; McCullough et al. 2006; Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007).”
Alien Non-Marine Snails and Slugs of Priority Quarantine Importance in the United States: A Preliminary Risk Assessment (2009, background): “…for plants (Gordon et al. 2008), driven in part by the continuing demands of the global horticulture trade to move many species to new localities, with the horticultural industry playing probably by far the most important role in the introduction of invasive plants (Dehnen-Schmutz et al. 2007).”
