• Invasion of glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) and native forest loss in the Sierras Chicas of Córdoba, Argentina (2010, background): “The elimination of the majority of the native plant cover, and particularly of arboreal species, in glossy privetdominated stands, is likely due to the strong shade cast by glossy privet, which constrains the regeneration and growth of other species (Grau and Arago ´n 2000; Merriam and Fiel 2002 ).”
• Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense) Removal and its Effect on Native Plant Communities of Riparian Forests (2009, background): “Likewise, Merriam and Feil (2003) found Chinese privet in North Carolina resulted in decreased plant species richness and abundance, and Wilcox and Beck (2007) found similar results in the Georgia piedmont.”
• Alien plant invasion and their impact on indigenous species diversity at global scale: A review (2010, unknown): “Merriam and Feil, 2002 33 Lolium multiflorum (Pers.)”
• Effects of roads and forest successional age on experimental plant invasions (2009, background): “These shrubs have been shown to reduce forest overstory productivity (Hartman and McCarthy, 2007), inhibit tree regeneration (Gorchov and Trisel, 2003; Merriam and Feil, 2002; Orr et al., 2005), and suppress native herbaceous species (Gould and Gorchov, 2000).”
• Non-native plants in the understory of riparian forests across a land use gradient in the Southeast (2005, background): “Merriam and Feil (2002) also reported a 40% loss in species richness in a Ligustrum-infested forest.”
• Invasion by Fallopia japonica increases topsoil mineral nutrient concentrations (2007, background): “Ca, Mg, K, Cu, Zn, Mn, and P were extracted with 1 M CH3COONH4 pH 4.65 (10 g soil in 50 mL solution) and determined by ICP-AES (Inductive Coupling PlasmaAtomic Emission Spectrometer) (Vista MPX, Varian, Palo Alto, California, USA).”
