Differences in morphological and physiological traits between native and invasive populations of Sapium sebiferum (2007, methodology): “Journal compilation © 2007 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 21, 721‐730 conditions (Rogers & Siemann 2002; Siemann & Rogers 2003c; Butterfield, Rogers & Siemann 2004).”
Experimental evidence for indirect facilitation among invasive plants (2014, background): “In natural plant communities, there is evidence that indirect interspecific facilitation can influence species composition and structure (Levine 1999), but there are few examples involving non-native plant species (Siemann & Rogers 2003).”
Simulating Competition and Coexistence between Plant Functional Types in a Dynamic Vegetation Model (2006, background): “For example, woody tree PFTs are dominant over grass PFTs since trees are capable of invading grasses because of their ability to shade them (Siemann and Rogers 2003).”
Facilitation in plant communities: the past, the present, and the future (2007, background): “C) compete for different resources, for example light for the first species pair, and water or nutrients for the second (Levine 1999; Pagès & Michalet 2003; Siemann & Rogers 2003; Kunstler et al. 2006).”
Spatial and temporal patterns of recent forest encroachment in montane grasslands of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, USA (2007, unknown): “…stresses and evaporation (Billings, 1969; Alftine & Malanson, 2004), increased soil moisture, temperature, and nitrogen availability (Belsky et al., 1989; Li & Wilson, 1998; Siemann & Rogers, 2003), and reduced grass competition (Wilson & Agnew, 1992; Li & Wilson, 1998; Siemann & Rogers, 2003).”
Biotic resistance to invader establishment of a southern Appalachian plant community is determined by environmental conditions (2005, background): “These extrinsic factors can influence invaders and residents differently (Siemann & Rogers 2003; Leishman & Thomson 2004) and appear to affect relationships between species richness and invasibility (Levine & D’Antonio 1999; Levine 2000; Naeem et al .”
Tree invasions: a comparative test of the dominant hypotheses and functional traits (2011, background): “…sp./resource level Siemann and Rogers (2003b) B, Ge, Gr, S Native sp/invasive range/disease resistance Invasive sp/invasive range/disease resistance Siemann and Rogers (2003c) Gr Invasive sp./native population seedlings Invasive sp./invasive population seedlings Siemann and Rogers (2003d) Gr,…”
Facilitation and the invasibility of plant communities (2021, background): “Similarly, Siemann and Rogers (2003) showed that seedlings of the invasive Sapium sebiferum were indirectly facilitated by canopies of adult S. sebiferum by decreasing root competition from prairie grasses due to shade.”
Tree invasion in naturally treeless environments: impacts of quinine (Cinchona pubescens) trees on native vegetation in Galápagos. (2007, background): “Changes in nutrient availability are a further driver of species displacement (Ehrenfeld, 2003; Siemann and Rogers, 2003) and may cause far-reaching impacts on the ecosystem (e.g. Vitousek and Walker, 1989).”
A biogeographical approach to plant invasions: the importance of studying exotics in their introduced and native range (2005, background): “2004) attack on native and exotic conspecifics or of herbivore damage on exotics and ecologically equivalent natives in recipient communities (Agrawal & Kotanen 2003; Siemann & Rogers 2003c), such studies provide only limited insight into the importance of enemy escape.”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex in Mediterranean shrubland is explained by both direct and indirect interactions mediated by herbs (2010, background): “…have been performed in productive or moderately productive environments; whereas some of them documented indirect facilitation (Levine 1999; Callaway & Pennings 2000; Siemann & Rogers 2003; Kunstler et al. 2006), others failed to detect this process (Pagès &Michalet 2003; Pagès et al. 2003).”
Indirect facilitation and competition in tree species colonization of sub-Mediterranean grasslands (2006, methodology): “We decided, instead, to simulate the effect of shrub shade using a shade cloth with similar light transmission, as used in previous studies (Pages & Michalet 2003; Pages et al. 2003; Siemann & Rogers 2003).”
