• Stability of exotic annual grasses following restoration efforts in southern California coastal sage scrub (2008, background): “Standing litter, produced primarily by the exotic grasses, is one significant way that Mediterranean grasses alter the characteristics of the communities they invade (D’Antonio & Vitousek 1992; Eliason & Allen 1997; Mack & D’Antonio 1998; Lenz, Moyle-Croft & Facelli 2003 ).”
• Landscape‐scale positive feedbacks between fire and expansion of the large tussock grass, Ampelodesmos mauritanica in Catalan shrublands (2005, background): “Although several studies have reported litter accumulation as a result of grass invasion (e.g. Lenz et al., 2003; Hoffman et al., 2004), only few direct assessments of decomposition rates have been carried out (van Vuuren et al., 1993; Ehrenfeld et al., 2001; Mack et al., 2001; Ehrenfeld, 2003;…”
• Non-native grass invasion alters native plant composition in experimental communities (2010, background): “For example, Maron and Marler (2008) showed that three non-native grassland invaders in the western US directly suppressed established native species through competitive dominance.”
• Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “…abiotic resource modification can have major impacts on an invaded system, as demonstrated by numerous recent studies (e.g. Fogarty & Facelli, 1999; Standish et al ., 2001; Lenz et al ., 2003; Wolf et al ., 2004; Yelenik et al ., 2004) (see Crooks, 2002 for a comprehensive review of this topic).”
