Climate change and the invasion of California by grasses (2012, background): “Grazing herbivores (e.g. livestock or elk) already negatively affect native plants (Kimball & Schiffman, 2003; Marty et al., 2005), and may reinforce future exotic dominance driven by climate change (HilleRisLambers et al., 2010).”
Stability of exotic annual grasses following restoration efforts in southern California coastal sage scrub (2008, background): “No claim to original US government works, Journal of Applied Ecology , 45 , 495 –504 cicutarium (L.) Aiton increased under grass clipping in some studies (Kimball & Schiffman 2003; Allen et al .”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “Furthermore, grazing may help to increase the spread of non-native invasive plant species in Mediterranean-climate grasslands, which may disrupt native p – p interactions (Kimball & Schiffman, 2003 ).”
Biodiversity, exotic plant species, and herbivory: The good, the bad, and the ungulate (2007, background): “As a consequence, less intensive grazing of the invasive plants provides competitive advantage to these species over more palatable native plants, allowing the former to effectively invade, establish and disperse ( Kimball and Schiffman, 2003 ).”
Tolerance to herbivory, and not resistance, may explain differential success of invasive, naturalized, and native North American temperate vines (2007, background): “Compensatory growth and tolerance have been implicated in the success of invasive plants (Kimball & Schiffman, 2003; Rogers & Siemann, 2003; Bossdorf et al ., 2004; Rogers & Siemann, 2004; Stastny et al ., 2005).”
Alien plant invasions in tropical and sub-tropical savannas: patterns, processes and prospects (2010, background): “Thus, under the influence of cattle introduced during human colonization, grasses introduced from Eurasia which had adapted to large, congregating mammalian grazers over a long period, were well suited to invading the New World territories (Kimball and Schiffman 2003).”
