Restoration of Themeda australis swards suppresses soil nitrate and enhances ecological resistance to invasion by exotic annuals (2009, methodology): “In southern Australia invasion by exotic annuals is associated with losses of plant and faunal diversity, and the survival of many ecological communities is now threatened (Hobbs and Yates 2000; Lenz and Facelli 2005; Prober et al. 2005).”
Within‐Year Soil Legacies Contribute to Strong Priority Effects of Exotics on Native California Grassland Communities (2010, background): “…in this study, such as litter buildup (Bartolome & Gemmill 1981; Bergelson 1990; Facelli & Facelli 1993), changes in nutrient cycling (Mack & D’Antonio 2003; Prober et al. 2005), or the presence of established adult perennial plants (Peart & Foin 1985; D’Antonio et al. 2001; Ejrnaes et al. 2006).”
Management of invasive plants through ecological resistance (2017, background): “An example where this approach was successful is reported by Prober et al. (2005), who showed that repeated sucrose applications in grassy woodlands in a temperate region of Australia significantly increased the abundance of native perennial grasses at the expense of exotic annuals.”
Coupled Human and Natural Systems (2007, background): “nutrients and water, increasing native cover to resist invasion by exotic species (38)).”
A framework to predict the effects of livestock grazing and grazing exclusion on conservation values in natural ecosystems in Australia. (2007, background): “Many of these changes appear difficult, if not impossible, to reverse over large scales, given the absence of soil seed banks of native forbs (Lunt 1997a; Morgan 1998a) and self-reinforcing changes to soil nutrient cycles driven by annual species (Prober et al. 2005).”
Soil microbial organic nitrogen uptake is regulated by carbon availability (2014, background): “A direct indication that the soil microbial community is C, rather than N limited was also provided by Prober et al. (2005).”
Beyond control : wider implications for the management of biological invasions (2006, background): “Not surprisingly, combining seed addition and carbon supplementation is more effective than either treatment on its own ( Prober et al . 2005 ).”
Balancing the environmental benefits of reforestation in agricultural regions (2015, background): “Many remnant forests are degraded, with depauperate understories, impoverished seed banks and few animals (Prober et al., 2005), and need to be restored to ensure the viability of native populations.”
Stability of exotic annual grasses following restoration efforts in southern California coastal sage scrub (2008, background): “The first is that a competitive hierarchy (Keddy 1990; Shipley & Keddy 1994) exists in CSS vegetation, with exotic grasses dominant but exotic forbs, particularly species of Erodium, moving to dominance as exotic grasses are controlled (Brooks 2000; Allen et al. 2005; Prober et al. 2005).”
Using plant functional traits to guide restoration: A case study in California coastal grassland (2011, result): “…for native species contrasts with some previous results (McLendon and Redente 1992, Zink and Allen 1998, Alpert and Maron 2000, Averett et al. 2004, Prober et al. 2005, Blumenthal 2009, Perry et al. 2010), but may be expected in systems like coastal Californian grasslands, where functional…”
Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “This may result in the inhibition of fast growing nitrofilic exotic weeds and facilitation of slower-growing natives (Blumenthal et al. 2003; Prober et al. 2005); but may also inhibit specific native species (Alpert and Maron 2000; Haubensak et al. 2004).”
