Invasion in space and time: non‐native species richness and relative abundance respond to interannual variation in productivity and diversity (2004, background): “…are likely to persist into subsequent years through effects of litter production and lowered light availability (Briggs & Knapp 1995), or because the physical presence of the resident plants prevents seed dispersal or establishment of newly arriving non-native species (Von Holle et al. 2003).”
Impacts of Garlic Mustard Invasion on a Forest Understory Community (2007, background): “Because invasion by exotic plants into intact communities, such as the forest understory, is less common than invasion into disturbed sites (Von Holle et al. 2003), garlic mustard’s unusual capacity to enter and proliferate within the intact forest community has prompted research on its interaction…”
A neutral terminology to define ‘invasive’ species (2004, background): “Biotic resistance predicts that interspecific interactions hinder the establishment of NIS due to the negative effects of predation, competition or parasitism (e.g. Moyle & Light, 1996; Mitchell & Power, 2003; Von Holle et al ., 2003; but see Levine & D’Antonio, 1999).”
Plant Invasions and Invasibility of Plant Communities (2013, background): “Finally, longevity/persistence of resident plants is a distinct component of resistance to invasions (Von Holle et al. 2003), especially in forest communities, resulting in ‘biological inertia’, including allelopathic chemicals produced by living or dead residents.”
Invasion impacts diversity through altered community dynamics (2005, background): “While this results in differing sample periods for each invader, the resulting time periods closely match the life span and turnover of the resident species dominant during each invasion ( Von Holle et al . 2003 ).”
The historical reference in restoration ecology: Re-defining a cornerstone concept (2014, background): “For instance, the role of biological legacies (e.g., remnant living organisms, seed banks, and organic structures and biotic patterns, sensu Franklin et al., 1985), as well as of the persistent effects (cf. ‘biological inertia’ sensu Von Holle et al., 2003) are often underestimated or overlooked.”
Biotic resistance to invader establishment of a southern Appalachian plant community is determined by environmental conditions (2005, background): “It is possible that conditions created by the overstorey are far more important to non-native invader survival than understorey species richness ( Von Holle et al. 2003 ).”
Intact forests provide only weak resistance to a shade‐tolerant invasive Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) (2006, background): “Recent studies continue to find that most invasive plants do not spread into intact forests even when found in adjacent disturbed forests (e.g. Fine 2002; Von Holle et al. 2003; Martin et al. 2004), suggesting that robust resistance to invasion is indeed an emergent property of this ecosystem (sensu”
