Intact forests provide only weak resistance to a shade‐tolerant invasive Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) (2006, background): “Indeed, the limited research on shadetolerant exotics to date suggests that this assertion may be true (e.g. Woods 1993; Nuzzo 1999; Martin et al. 2004; Gilbert & Lechowicz 2005).”
Weed Ecology in Natural and Agricultural Systems (2003, background): “garlic mustard can outcompete native species because of its high growth rate and fecundity in its new environment of forest edges without natural enemies (Anderson et al., 1996; Nuzzo, 1999).”
Ready or Not, Garlic Mustard Is Moving In: Alliaria petiolata as a Member of Eastern North American Forests (2008, background): “Once garlic mustard is established, it becomes a permanent member of the plant community and proliferates rapidly into adjacent habitats (Nuzzo 1999).”
Soil microbial communities alter allelopathic competition between Alliaria petiolata and a native species (2010, background): “Like most invasive species, A. petiolata benefits from disturbance, but unlike many invaders it is also able to invade relatively intact forest understories (Nuzzo 1999; Rodgers et al. 2008).”
Impacts of Garlic Mustard Invasion on a Forest Understory Community (2007, background): “Similarly, Nuzzo (1999) found a decline in the percent cover of perennial plants with increasing garlic mustard invasion over time, but no change in overall species richness at a long-term monitoring study in Illinois.”
The importance of biological inertia in plant community resistance to invasion (2003, unknown): “We are not claiming that closed forest communities are entirely resistant to the huge suite of non-indigenous species that bombard them today; there are several examples of such invasions (cf. Woods 1993; Nuzzo 1999; Almasi 2000; Webb et al. 2000).”
A unifying framework for biological invasions: the state factor model (2008, background): “Garlic mustard was chosen as it has a widespread distribution in the Northeast and Midwestern US, is considered one of the primary threats to hardwood forest ecosystems (Nuzzo 1999), and a substantial body of research has and continues to be conducted on this species.”
Invasive Plant Suppresses the Growth of Native Tree Seedlings by Disrupting Belowground Mutualisms (2006, background): “disturbed areas and closed-canopy forest understory across much of the United States and Canada [23], where it apparently suppresses native understory plants, including the seedlings of dominant canopy trees [22,24].”
