Trade-offs related to ecosystem engineering: A case study on stiffness of emerging macrophytes (2005, background): “In the pioneer zone of salt marshes, stresses by hydrodynamic forces such as wave energy and current velocity play a dominant role in the establishment, survival and expansion of plants (e.g., see Bruno 2000, Houwing 2000, Robbins and Bell 2000, van Katwijk and Hermus 2000).”
A review of salt marsh dynamics (2011, background): “For example, the shelter and higher elevations created by pioneer species allows more sensitive species to become established (Bruno 2000; Bouma et al. 2005).”
Geomorphology and ecology: Unifying themes for complex systems in biogeomorphology (2006, background): “Spartina alterniflora, a common grass of salt marshes and beaches, facilitates the establishment and persistence of cobble beach plant communities by stabilizing the substrate and enabling seedlings of other species to emerge and survive (Bruno, 2000).”
Characterizing ecosystem‐level consequences of biological invasions: the role of ecosystem engineers (2002, background): “…landscapes (Jones et al. 1997b), and test models assessing the importance of engineering in relation to varying amounts of other factors, including environmental stress, competition, predation, and recruitment (Wilson and Agnew 1992, Bertness and Callaway 1994, Bruno 2000, Bruno and Bertness 2001).”
Noise-Induced Phenomena in the Environmental Sciences (2011, background): “It has also been found that on cobble beaches, dense stands of spartina alterniflora occupying the lower intertidal zone can protect other plant communities from intense wave action (Bruno, 2000; van de Koppel et al., 2006).”
Spartina alterniflora genotype influences facilitation and suppression of high marsh species colonizing an early successional salt marsh (2005, background): “Spartina alterniflora has been described as a keystone species (Seliskar et al. 2002), a keystone or ecosystem engineer (Bruno 2000), and a foundation species (Pennings & Bertness 2001), because of the profound roles that it plays in creating habitat for other species, providing considerable…”
Lessons from primary succession for restoration of severely damaged habitats (2009, background): “How species respond differentially to disturbances is particularly accentuated in the inhospitable environments of early primary succession (Bruno 2000; Levine 2000; see ‘Site amelioration’).”
Effects of shoot stiffness, shoot size and current velocity on scouring sediment from around seedlings and propagules (2009, background): “At low intertidal elevations, hydrodynamic forces from waves and currents are known stress factors that influence settlement and survival of many intertidal species (e.g. see Bruno 2000, Robbins & Bell 2000, Bos & van Katwijk 2007).”
Seed dispersal, habitat suitability and the distribution of halophytes across a salt marsh tidal gradient (2000, background): “…propagule movement in this system, together with the considerable seed retention observed in similar forb communities in cobble beach systems (Bruno 2000), suggests that limited seed availability is more likely to be due to the sparse distribution of adults of most species across the…”
