Diversity declines in Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) patches (2009, background): “just spatially, but also temporally (Clarke et al., 2005; Bjerknes et al., 2007).”
Impacts of alien plant invasions on species richness in Mediterranean-type ecosystems: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “The indirect effect of invasive grasses on fl oristic composition by changing fi re regimes is widely recognized as a signifi cant ecological factor (Brooks et al., 2004; Clarke et al., 2005; Rossiter-Rachor et al., 2008).”
Guidelines for the application of IUCN Red List of Ecosystems categories and criteria (2015, background): “Invasion of arid Australian shrublands and grasslands by Buffel Grass makes them more fire prone and less favourable for persistence of native plant species (Clarke et al., 2005; Miller et al., 2010).”
Long-term effectiveness of sowing high and low diversity seed mixtures to enhance plant community development on ex-arable fields (2007, background): “The development of plant communities is often affected by the presence of strong dominants (e.g. Prach et al. 2001; Clarke et al. 2005) and is often highly idiosyncratic.”
Ecological impacts of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) invasion in central Australia - does field evidence support a fire-invasion feedback? (2010, background): “Clarke et al. (2005) proposed that a combination of frequent ignitions, high fuel loads and fuel continuity induced by buffel grass could lead to increasing intensity and frequency of fires and cause the decline of some woody species; they also reported a lesser abundance of native shrubs in the pre”
Sonoran Desert Ecosystem transformation by a C4 grass without the grass/fire cycle (2012, unknown): “P. ciliare is widely known as a firepromoting grass and has been implicated in a grass–fire cycle in Sonora, Mexico (Burquez-Montijo et al., 2002), Hawaii (Daehler & Goergen, 2005) and Australia (Clarke et al., 2005; Fairfax & Fensham, 2000).”
