The elephant in the room: the role of failed invasions in understanding invasion biology (2013, background): “…is due to the introduction of a non-native genetic lineage that exhibits greater rates of photosynthesis and greater rates of stomatal conductance, which allows the exotic lineage to outcompete native lineages of P. australis and native vegetation (Saltonstall 2002, Mozdzer and Zieman 2010).”
Litter legacy increases the competitive advantage of invasive Phragmites australis in New England wetlands (2011, background): “... live stems typically grow extremely tall ([3 m) but are relatively sparse with individual live stems often spaced at distances [10 cm. Phragmites sustains high levels of productivity with this ‘few, but tall stems’ morphology because the rigid framework of standing dead shoots provides structura”
