Experimental plant invasion reduces arthropod abundance and richness across multiple trophic levels (2010, background): “When an invasive plant decreases native plant species abundance and richness, as does M. vimineum (Flory and Clay 2009, 2010), the reduction in the native litter and the growing amount of non-native litter may alter the decomposer community, with consequences for the ecosystem (Mayer et al. 2005,…”
The Interaction Between Propagule Pressure, Habitat Suitability and Density‐Dependent Reproduction in Species Invasion (2012, background): “It invades roadsides, trails and waterways, along with forest understories and wetlands, displacing native vegetation (Cole and Weltzin 2004, Oswalt et al. 2007, Flory and Clay 2009a, b, Warren et al. 2011b).”
Pathogen accumulation and long‐term dynamics of plant invasions (2013, background): “1a), while simultaneously increasing Microstegium biomass by up to 50% and seed production by up to 200% in natural populations (Flory, Kleczewski & Clay 2011).”
Non-native grass invasion alters native plant composition in experimental communities (2010, methodology): “Holmes and Cowling 1997; Oswalt et al. 2007), or removal experiments (Gorchov and Trisel 2003; Biggerstaff and Beck 2007; Flory and Clay 2009 ).”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, unknown): “However, experiments demonstrating recovery of native plants once Microstegium was removed from natural areas (Flory 2010; Flory and Clay 2009) and increases in native species richness with removal of this species from a wetland restoration (DeMeester”
