Functional Matrix: A Conceptual Framework for Predicting Multiple Plant Effects on Ecosystem Processes (2003, background): “Disturbance Species effects on disturbance regimes can dominate many plant effects on ecosystem processes (Mack et al. 2001).”
Effect of Invasive Plant Species on Temperate Wetland Plant Diversity (2004, background): “In addition, there is convincing evidence that plant invasions can have dramatic effects on ecosystem functions such as nutrient cycling (Mack et al. 2001; Blank & Young 2002) and fire regime (Platt & Gottschalk 2001).”
Assessing the residual effects of Carpobrotus edulis invasion, implications for restoration (2009, background): “On sites that have a history of invasion by an ecosystem engineer it will be important to either diagnose and ameliorate residual effects in the soil prior to a successful restoration (Mack et al. 2001) or compensate for the additional mortality in the planting design.”
The invasive shrub European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica, L.) alters soil properties in Midwestern U.S. woodlands (2006, background): “, 2003) and/or through modifying ecosystem properties (Vitousek et al., 1989; Mack et al., 2001; Ehrenfeld et al., 2001).”
Risks of biological control for conservation purposes (2012, background): “In addition, just the presence of these two grasses greatly affects nitrogen dynamics, often in ways opposite to the effect of Morella faya (Mack et al. 2001; Mack and D’Antonio 2003).”
Evolutionary Legacy Effects on Ecosystems: Biogeographic Origins, Plant Traits, and Implications for Management in the Era of Global Change (2016, background): “Consequently, native Hawai’ian grassland ecosystems experience lower frequency of fires and fires with smaller extents than grasslands in other regions of the globe, with major consequences for nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics (Mack et al. 2001).”
Landscape‐scale positive feedbacks between fire and expansion of the large tussock grass, Ampelodesmos mauritanica in Catalan shrublands (2005, background): “…have reported litter accumulation as a result of grass invasion (e.g. Lenz et al., 2003; Hoffman et al., 2004), only few direct assessments of decomposition rates have been carried out (van Vuuren et al., 1993; Ehrenfeld et al., 2001; Mack et al., 2001; Ehrenfeld, 2003; Mack & D’Antonio, 2003).”
Alternative states and positive feedbacks in restoration ecology. (2004, background): “For example, introduced grasses in woodlands in Hawaii alter nitrogen cycling and promote fire, which further benefits introduced grasses at the expense of native shrub species, creating an internally re-enforced state that has proven very difficult to change [ 50 ,51].”
INVASION BY A N2-FIXING TREE ALTERS FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE IN WET LOWLAND FORESTS OF HAWAII (2005, background): “Invasibility may increase with increased nutrient supply (Huenneke et al. 1990, Davis et al. 2000, Ostertag and Verville 2002) or altered disturbance regimes (Mack and D’Antonio 1998, Mack et al. 2001).”
