The relative importance of landscape and community features in the invasion of an exotic shrub in a fragmented landscape (2006, background): “waste from grazers or slash from timber harvest), exposure of bare soil (Hrenko et al. 2004), or increased light levels ( Greenberg et al. 2001 ).”
Management of plant invasions mediated by frugivore interactions (2006, unknown): “In contrast, three other comparisons showed no clear differences (Montaldo 2000; Greenberg, Smith & Levey 2001; Drummond 2005).”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, result): “Few studies have compared fruit removal rates in co-occurring native and invasive plant species, and these have produced inconsistent results (Sallabanks, 1993; Vila & D’Antonio, 1998; cf. Greenberg et al ., 2001).”
Seedling emergence, growth, and allocation of Oriental bittersweet: effects of seed input, seed bank, and forest floor litter (2004, background): “Unlike P. pensylvanica ,h owever, C. orbiculatus does not require mechanical or chemical scarification prior to germination (Patterson, 1974; Greenberg et al., 2001; our observations), suggesting that its seed coat is not sufficiently thick to protect it through multiple years of burial in the soi”
