Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “…promoted sedimentation, native plants in the Yangtze River estuary, such as Scirpus mariqueter (hereafter Scirpus; Chen et al. 2004) and Phragmites australis (hereafter Phragmites; Wang et al. 2006b) were rapidly replaced by the exotic plant as Spartina is much more competitive than the natives.”
Management of invasive plants through ecological resistance (2017, background): “In stressful and harsh environments, abiotic constraints may entirely determine the fate of invaders (Chytrý et al. 2008; Dethier and Hacker 2005; Wang et al. 2006b).”
Ecophysiological characteristics of invasive Spartina alterniflora and native species in salt marshes of Yangtze River estuary, China (2009, background): “In the Yangtze River estuary, the greater LAI and longer growing season of S. alterniflora compared with those of P. australis may also be associated with the soil salinity of the habitat and climatic conditions ( Wang et al., 2006b ).”
