Exotic invasive plants increase productivity, abundance of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and nitrogen availability in intermountain grasslands (2016, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2016 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 104, 994–1002 species of grassland invaders (see supplementary table Liao et al. 2008) and suggest that increases in ANPP and soil N associated with invasion may be somewhat consistent across species in a single system.”
Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, background): “Specific topics that have been reviewed include the impacts of hybridization of native and alien species (35), impacts of invasions on soil processes (36), impacts on native species richness (37), and competition from aliens with native plants (38).”
Biodiversity, phenology and temporal niche differences between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands (2011, background): “, 2009) and changes in ecosystem functioning (Ehrenfeld, 2003; Liao et al., 2008; Hejda et al., 2009; Rout and Callaway, 2009; Wardle et al., 2011).”
A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and environment (2012, background): “Recent attempts to review plant impact studies using metaanalyses have either been focused on specific ecosystems (Gaertner et al., 2009) or types of impact (Liao et al., 2007; Powell et al., 2011; Vilà et al., 2011).”
Ecosystem service and biodiversity trade-offs in two woody successions (2011, background): “Increasing woodiness may result in increases in above-ground carbon (C) sequestration (Hughes et al. 2006; Liao et al. 2008), but be negatively correlated with other ecosystem services and biodiversity.”
global patterns of the responses of leaf-level photosynthesis and respiration in terrestrial plants to experimental warming (2013, methodology): “The averaged mean ( M ) and the averaged standard deviation (SD ) were calculated using the following equations (Liao et al. 2008):”
Linking above- and belowground resource use strategies for native and invasive species of temperate deciduous forests (2015, background): “…species that establish widely outside their native range, are often found to grow faster aboveground than co-occurring natives across a wide variety of ecosystems (Liao et al. 2008; van Kleunen et al. 2010; Vilà et al. 2011), including temperate forests (Herron et al. 2007; Fridley 2012).”
Rhizosphere priming effect: A meta-analysis (2017, methodology): “As required by meta-analysis procedure (removal of time-dependency), we aggregated the data points from repeated measures using the following equation (Liao et al., 2008):”
Ecological impacts of invasive alien plants: a meta-analysis of their effects on species, communities and ecosystems. (2011, methodology): “Current evidence suggests that compared with non-N-fixing species, N-fixing alien species more strongly affect N and C cycling (Liao et al. 2008), but our results indicate that no such differences are found for impacts on other ecosystem processes or on community structure.”
Impact of landscape alteration and invasions on pollinators: a meta‐analysis (2012, neutral): “…is a problem that meta-analysts continuously face and in this work we aimed at reaching a compromise between avoiding pseudo-replication and not sacrificing too much information, as has been done in previous meta-analyses (Liao et al. 2007; Rey-Benayas, Galvan & Carrascal 2010; Vilà et al. 2011).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “Although different trophic groups are expected to vary in their direct and indirect effects on ecosystem C, the importance of these effects is dictated by the distribution and abundance of species within these groups (Parker et al., 1999; Liao et al., 2008).”
High competitiveness of a resource demanding invasive acacia under low resource supply (2009, background): “Additionally, invading species may have a profound impact on the ecosystem by altering nutrient and carbon cycles, causing further disturbance (Witkowski 1991a; Evans et al. 2001; Liao et al. 2008).”
Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “In terrestrial ecosystems affected by invasive plants, litter decomposition rates are on average 117% higher for exotic than co-occurring native species, and the higher litter masses imply higher element input rates to the soil (Liao et al. 2008).”
