Ecology and ecosystem impacts of common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica): a review (2007, background): “These results are consistent with data that show decreased R. cathartica seedling abundance in areas with greater cover of understory herbaceous plants (Knight and Reich 2005) and native shrubs (Gourley 1985).”
Tree invasions: a comparative test of the dominant hypotheses and functional traits (2011, background): “With local and regional factors as determinants of forest invasibility (Knight and Reich 2005; Ohlemüller et al. 2006), the empty niche hypothesis seems too vague and less precisely defined than the ideas supported by the other hypotheses.”
MoB (Measurement of Biodiversity): a method to separate the scale-dependent effects of species abundance distribution, density, and aggregation on diversity change (2018, background): “…often lacks a simple answer, because the magnitude (and sometimes even the direction) of change in richness is strongly influenced by spatial scale (Chalcraft et al. 2004, Fridley et al. 2004, Knight and Reich 2005, Palmer et al. 2008, Powell et al. 2013, Blowes et al. 2017, Chase et al. 2018).”
Aquatic pollution increases the relative success of invasive species (2010, background): “Shea and Chesson 2002; Knight and Reich 2005; Olyarnik et al. 2009) and prevalence of natural enemies (Torchin et al. 2003).”
Overstorey tree species regulate colonization by native and exotic plants: a source of positive relationships between understorey diversity and invasibility (2008, background): “…of dominant species (Emery & Gross, 2006), or unidentified environmental factors (Sax, 2002; Cleland et al ., 2004; Gilbert & Lechowicz, 2005; Knight & Reich, 2005) may affect native and exotic plants in the same way, leading to positive relationships between native diversity and…”
Life‐history correlates of plant invasiveness at regional and continental scales (2005, background): “As an illustration of the importance of considering spatial scale in biological invasions, Knight & Reich (2005) found that the amount of cover of the invading species, Rhamnus cathartica, was negatively related to native species richness at patch scales but positively related at landscape scales.”
Dominant species identity regulates invasibility of old‐field plant communities (2006, background): “We expected to find that species rich plots would be less invasible than species poor plots due to competitive interactions (niche complementarity, Tilman 1997); negative relationships between species richness and invasion have been reported in many experimental studies (Knight and Reich 2005), thou”
