Effects of nitrogen availability on competition between Bromus tectorum and Bouteloua gracilis (2003, background): “…and outcompete the native as nitrogen availability increased, but the native species did not have a competitive advantage over the exotic at nitrogen availability decreased, as we expected, and has been found in the field $$(Wedin and Tilman 1990; Zink and Allen 1998; Alpert and Maron 2000).”
SOIL CARBON ADDITION CONTROLS WEEDS AND FACILITATES PRAIRIE RESTORATION (2003, background): “Previous studies that found C addition to inhibit weeds without facilitating native species added between 1500 and 1650 g organic matter per square meter (Reever Morghan and Seastedt 1999, Alpert and Maron 2000, Paschke et al. 2000).”
Can Carbon Addition Increase Competitiveness of Native Grasses? A Case Study from California (2004, background): “Sawdust addition (with or without sucrose addition) has been shown to negatively affect exotic competitors but has been less successful in benefiting native species (Wilson & Gerry 1995; Reever Morghan & Seastedt 1999; Alpert & Maron 2000; 42 Restoration Ecology MARCH 2004 Cione et al. 2002).”
Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “The addition of a C source can also be used to reduce N availability because it reduces plant-available N by stimulating microbial uptake of N. 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. ”
Lessons from primary succession for restoration of severely damaged habitats (2009, background): “Such additions frequently counteract invasive species as well (Alpert & Maron 2000).”
Using plant functional traits to guide restoration: A case study in California coastal grassland (2011, background): “Both C addition and mowing have been applied in these systems, but without consistent benefits to native species (Alpert and Maron 2000, Maron and Jefferies 2001, Hayes and Holl 2003b, Corbin and D’Antonio 2004).”
Restoration of Themeda australis swards suppresses soil nitrate and enhances ecological resistance to invasion by exotic annuals (2009, background): “A number of studies have shown that experimental manipulation of soil nitrate concentrations through carbon supplementation can dramatically suppress the vigour of nitrophilic exotics (Reever Morghan and Seastedt 1999; Alpert and Maron 2000 ), at times enhancing the abundance of native species (Blu”
