The EPPO prioritization process for invasive alien plants (2010, background): “…soil conditions are also considered, e.g. nitrogen fixing species that increase nitrogen soil content such as Robinia pseudacacia, Acacia spp. (Marchante et al., 2008) and Lupinus polyphyllus (Fremstad, 2006); as well as species modifying soil pH and ⁄ or organic P/EPPO Bulletin 40,…”
Rhizobial hitchhikers from Down Under: invasional meltdown in a plant–bacteria mutualism? (2010, background): “Apart from the displacement of native vegetation and the increased inputs of organic matter and nitrogen in the invaded sand dune system (Marchante et al., 2008b), the above-ground dominance of A. longifolia is mirrored below ground by the dominance of exotic bradyrhizobia and symbiotic loci that…”
Effect of invasive Acacia dealbata Link on soil microorganisms as determined by PCR-DGGE. (2010, unknown): “The higher litter deposition and higher N content of acacia leaves result in faster nitrogen cycling and altered the decomposition rates which can change decomposer community (Marchante et al., 2008a).”
High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, background): “Further it has been shown to alter the soil processes such as the catabolic diversity of the soil microbial community ( Marchante et al. 2008a, b, 2009) and form symbiotic interactions with soil biota (N-fixing symbionts and mycorrhiza) even more efficiently than native N-fixing legumes in differen”
Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration (2009, background): “In our study site, the fire that occurred in 1995 may have reduced the C pool and possibly the N pool to a lower extent ( Marchante et al. 2008 ), but as the germination of A. longifolia seeds is fire stimulated, the fire also led to the rapid invasion of the burnt areas.”
Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “In Portuguese coastal systems (Marchante et al., 2008b) and lowland fynbos (Yelenik et al., 2004), the soil organic matter and leaf litter layer increased, resulting in higher soil moisture levels following invasion.”
Ecophysiological traits associated with the competitive ability of invasive Australian acacias (2011, unknown): “…Soil ReferenceBiomass [N] [N] A. cyclops CFR + + + Witkowski, 1991b CFR ND ND + Stock et al., 1995 A. longifolia Portugal (20+ years) + + + Marchante et al., 2008 Portugal (10 years) + + 0 Portugal ND ND + Rodrı́guez-Echeverrı́a et al., 2009 A. saligna CFR + + + Witkowski, 1991b CFR ND ND…”
Invasive plants as drivers of regime shifts: identifying high‐priority invaders that alter feedback relationships (2014, background): “Increased nitrogen levels create reinforcing feedback loops that promote further proliferation of the invader and other weedy species (e.g. Vinton & Goergen, 2006), and suppress recruitment of native plants (e.g. Marchante et al., 2008).”
Risk assessment, eradication, and biological control: global efforts to limit Australian acacia invasions (2011, background): “…[e.g. on water use, fire regimes, soil nitrogen levels, and directly on biodiversity through competition for space (Richardson & van Wilgen, 2004; Marchante et al., 2008; Gaertner et al., 2009; Le Maitre et al., 2011)], but also a wide variety of commercial, subsistence and ornamental uses…”
The evolution and phylogenetic placement of invasive Australian Acacia species (2011, background): “Many legumes and species of Acacia in particular have been moved around the world by humans for various purposes ranging from sand dune stabilization and forestry as well as for the tannin and perfume industries (Maslin, 2001; Marchante et al., 2008; Kull et al., 2011; Richardson et al., 2011).”
Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “Soil respiration rates increase in some invaded systems (Litton et al. 2006, Marchante et al. 2008, Zou et al. 2006), depend on soil texture and water inputs in others (Huxman et al. 2004), and do not change with plant invasions in other cases (e.g., Scharfy et al. 2009).”
