Changes in the plant community of a Brazilian grassland savannah after 22 years of invasion by Pinus elliottii Engelm (2011, background): “Such substitution of the native community by invasive trees has also been observed in South Africa (Le Maitre et al. 2000; Dye and Jarmain 2004), leading to high water losses by evapotranspiration and causing relevant economic losses.”
Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “Riparian stands of Acacia mearnsii in South Africa use more water than adjacent dryland invasions by the same species or the native vegetation the invaders replaced (Dye et al., 2001; Dye & Jarmain, 2004).”
Guidelines for improved management of riparian zones invaded by alien plants in South Africa (2008, background): “…flows in rivers and deliver water benefits to humans, as the major invaders of riparian zones are trees which use more water than indigenous riparian plants and thus reduce water yields from catchments (Prinsloo ts reserved. and Scott, 1999; Le Maitre et al., 2002; Dye and Jarmain, 2004).”
