Responses of common and rare aliens and natives to nutrient availability and fluctuations (2017, background): “Few experiments, however, have tested explicity whether and to what extent invasive alien plant species benefit from resource fluctuations (but see Davis & Pelsor 2001; Parepa, Fischer & Bossdorf 2013; Koerner et al. 2015 for notable exceptions).”
Exotic plants increase and native plants decrease with loss of foundation species in sagebrush steppe (2010, background): “…of foundation plant species from an ecosystem may increase the availability of limiting resources, and increased resource availability has been implicated as a mechanism for invasion and persistence of exotic species (Davis et al. 2000; Davis and Pelsor 2001; Shea and Chesson 2002; Daehler 2003).”
Invasive alien plant species in China: regional distribution patterns (2005, background): “There are many studies on invasibility of habitats (e.g. Smith & Knapp, 1999; Davis & Pelsor, 2001; Brown & Fridley, 2003; Brown & Peet, 2003; van Ruijven et al ., 2003; Stampe & Daehler, 2003).”
A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, background): “Increasing water or nitrogen availability often facilitates invasion (Aerts & Berendse 1988; Bobbink 1991; Hobbs & Mooney 1991; Hobbs & Huenneke 1992; Milchunas & Lauenroth 1995; Maron & Connors 1996; Wedin & Tilman 1996; Davis & Pelsor 2001; Siemann & Rogers 2003a).”
A hierarchical framework for integrating invasibility experiments incorporating different factors and spatial scales (2009, background): “Leishman & Thomson 2005 Joshi & Vrieling 2005 Maron & Connors 1996 Milbau et al. Prieur- Richard et Callaway et al. 2004 Davis & Pelsor 2001 Cavieres et al. 2007 Micro < 10 m”
Does pattern of soil resource heterogeneity determine plant community structure? An experimental investigation (2005, neutral): “2000; Davis & Pelsor 2001).”
What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “…facilitate biological invasions by providing a window of opportunity during which resources are available to invading propagules (Davis et al. 2000, Davis and Pelsor 2001), though the general effects of resource pulses on invasibility may depend on the relative uptake abilities of both resident…”
Non-indigenous grasses impede woody succession (2005, result): “In many sites, soil water (matric) potential ws is a better measure of availability of soil water to plants than volumetric soil water, h. In this study field, because the coarse soil texture is extremely uniform and the field is flat, analyses using h and ws have produced identical results (Davis e”
Plant invasion across space and time: factors affecting nonindigenous species success during four stages of invasion. (2007, background): “Others capitalize on resource opportunities following disturbance events that remove native vegetation or directly add resources to a community (Huenneke et al ., 1990; Burke & Grime, 1996; Davis et al ., 2000; Davis & Pelsor, 2001; Leishman & Thomson, 2005).”
Propagule pressure: a null model for biological invasions (2006, background): “Using experimental plots with equal numbers of seed propagules, for example, Burke and Grime (1996) and Davis and Pelsor (2001) found strong support for the importance of disturbance and resource availability to invasibility.”
