High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, background): “, after increased disturbance and subsequent slow resource uptake by the native vegetation, facilitates invasion (Davis et al. 2000; Blumenthal 2005).”
Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “…and D’Antonio 2004; D’Antonio and Meyerson 2002; Hawkes et al. 2005; Heneghan et al. 2006), and is considered an important factor for invasion success (Blumenthal 2005; Davis and Pelsor 2001) which may hamper restoration of native ecosystems (Gordon 1998; Hobbs and Humphries 1995; Prober et al.…”
Tolerance to herbivory, and not resistance, may explain differential success of invasive, naturalized, and native North American temperate vines (2007, background): “In particular, there has been a widespread effort to explore how natural enemies affect the invasion process (e.g. Elton, 1958; Blossey & Notzold, 1995; Maron & Vila, 2001; Keane & Crawley, 2002; Blumenthal, 2005, 2006).”
Mediterranean annual grasses in western North America: kids in a candy store (2007, background): “…may have evolved to utilize higher nutrient concentrations, parallel other results that suggest soils of vulnerable western US ecosystems are functionally different (i.e., more available-nutrient rich) than soils where these weeds are native and noninvasive (Blumenthal 2005; Davis et al. 2000).”
Biotic interactions and plant invasions. (2006, background): “Increased resource availability may interact with enemy release because introduced species with rapid growth rates may get the greatest advantage from both (the resource–enemy release hypothesis; Blumenthal 2005).”
Tree invasions: a comparative test of the dominant hypotheses and functional traits (2011, background): “When introduced to a new region, they benefit more from both enemy release and resource availability than well-defended species adapted to low resource availability ( Blumenthal 2005 ).”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “Most invasive exotic species are early successionals (Blumenthal 2005), indicating that they may benefit more from soil-borne enemy release than from exposure to generalist symbionts (Kardol, Bezemer & Van der Putten 2006).”
Functional composition controls invasion success in a California serpentine grassland (2010, background): “The concept of biotic resistance suggests native species could repel invaders by either resource competition, natural enemies or the interaction between the two (Levine, Adler & Yelenik 2004; Blumenthal 2005).”
Do alien plant species profit more from high resource supply than natives? A trait‐based analysis (2013, background): “…relation suggest that, specifically under high-nutrient conditions, aliens have the potential to outperform natives if there is an increase in unutilized resources (Davis et al., 2000; Daehler, 2003) and/or a reduction in herbivory/parasitism rates (Blumenthal, 2005, 2006; Blumenthal et al., 2009).”
