• The role of land-use history in major invasions by woody plant species in the northeastern North American landscape (2009, background): “Indeed, several recent papers have pointed to the over-riding importance of land-use history in understanding and predicting the distribution and abundance of plant species in general (Bellemare et al. 2002; Donohue et al. 2000; Dupre and Ehrlen 2002; Verheyen et al. 2003a, b; Vila et al. 2003), and”
• Species attributes and invasion success by alien plants on Mediterranean islands (2005, background): “Succulents appear to regenerate poorly in established vegetation where microsites may be limited (Vilà et al. 2003) and thus this trait appears not to be important in the invasion of semi-natural habitats.”
• Reconstructing 50 years of Opuntia stricta invasion in the Kruger National Park, South Africa: environmental determinants and propagule pressure (2004, unknown): “For example, the well-studied invasions in Catalonia, Spain, take place in planted pine forests, abandoned olive groves and vineyards characterized by high levels of a range of anthropogenic disturbances (Gimeno & Vila, 2002; Vila et al., 2003).”
• Exploring species attributes and site characteristics to assess plant invasions in Spain (2009, background): “Man-modified habitats such as human settlements, old fields, roadsides, rangelands and areas near croplands or plantations are more prone to invasion than natural or seminatural habitats, as found in other studies (Kowarik, 1990; Tyser & Worley, 1992; Pysek, 1998; Hobbs, 2000; Vilà et al., 2003).”
• Plant invasions in the landscape (2011, background): “For example, some alien species are more abundant in secondary forests grown after crop abandonment, relative to undisturbed forests, despite their current similar forest structure (Aragón and Morales 2003; Vilà et al. 2003; DeGasperis and Motzkin 2007).”
