Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “They have a range of ecological and socio-economic impacts (Le Maitre et al., 2000; De Wit et al., 2001; Marchante et al., 2003, 2008a,b; Gaertner et al., 2009; Hellmann et al., 2011; Marchante, 2011; Rascher et al., 2011).”
Exotic naturalized flora of continental Portugal – A reassessment (2006, background): “Other works were published, focusing particularly in the most invasive species (Campelo, 2001; Marchante, 2001; Marchante et al., 2003; Almeida & Freitas, 2003; Almeida et al., 2004).”
Belowground mutualists and the invasive ability of Acacia longifolia in coastal dunes of Portugal (2009, background): “Acacia longifolia, originally from South Western Australia, has an invasive status in Portugal (Marchante et al. 2003), New Zealand (Parsons et al. 1998) and South Africa (Cronk and Fuller 1995).”
Short- and long-term impacts of Acacia longifolia invasion on the belowground processes of a Mediterranean coastal dune ecosystem (2008, unknown): “These exotic woody legumes were planted at the beginning of the last century to curb sand erosion but have now proliferated, often associated to fire events, causing significant ecological impacts (Marchante, 2001; Marchante et al., 2003).”
Ecophysiological traits associated with the competitive ability of invasive Australian acacias (2011, unknown): “…such as the South African Cape Floristic Region (CFR) or Portuguese dune ecosystems (Groves & di Castri, 1991; Witkowski, 1991a; Stock et al., 1995; Marchante et al., 2003; Rouget et al., 2003; Werner et al., 2010) and disturbed environments such as riparian and post-fire environments (Henderson,…”
High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, background): “This has indeed been observed both in the humid north and, though less frequent, in the dryer South of Portugal (Marchante et al. 2003, 2009; Große-Stoltenberg 2009; Rascher et al. 2009).”
Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “Invasion of Portuguese coastal dunes by A. longifolia has resulted in the development of woodlands dominated by this exotic species accompanied by a decrease in native plant diversity (Marchante 2001; Marchante et al. 2003), and consequently preventing the dune natural dynamic.”
