- Impact assessment revisited: improving the theoretical basis for management of invasive alien species (2010, background): “In the physical environment, invasive alien species can modify erosion processes, the availability of soil nutrients, and the water balance (Mack and D’Antonio 1998; Richardson and van Wilgen 2004; Go ´mez-Aparicio and Canham 2008).”
- Plant invasions in the landscape (2011, background): “For example, invasion by pine trees in South-Africa fynbos has transformed many low stature shrublands into woodlands, which has led to increases in ecosystem biomass and water demand, and the consequent decrease in water availability exerting a great strain on the local human population (Le Maitre ”
- Residence time and potential range: crucial considerations in modelling plant invasions (2007, methodology): “Oblique ellipse models were then fitted to the current distribution of each species, and Mahalanobis distances were calculated (Farber & Kadmon, 2003; Rouget et al., 2004).”
- Tree invasions: a comparative test of the dominant hypotheses and functional traits (2011, background): “account for the most significant declines in native species richness in the Fynbos Biome of South Africa (see Richardson and van Wilgen 2004 for review; Gaertner et al. 2009), whilst Tamarix spp.”
- Seed banks of invasive Australian Acacia species in South Africa: Role in invasiveness and options for management (2008, background): “Since these species are widely planted as aliens in many parts of the world, and are invasive in many of these areas (Richardson et al., 2004), these findings should be of interest beyond South Africa.”
- Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, background): “In South Africa, invasions have been shown to reduce the value of fynbos ecosystems (∼4% of the country) by over US$11.75 billion (74). www.annualreviews.org • Management of Biological Invasions 35 A nn u.”
