California native and exotic perennial grasses differ in their response to soil nitrogen, exotic annual grass density, and order of emergence (2009, background): “Previous work has shown that differences in emergence timing of even a few days can be enough to reverse competitive hierarchies between similar grass types (Harper 1961; Ross and Harper 1972; Rice and Dyer 2001).”
Using priority effects to manipulate competitive relationships in restoration (2017, background): “Initial size advantage can increase through time, perhaps because larger individuals get better access to limiting resources, essentially outcompeting smaller individuals (e.g. Ellison & Rabinowitz 1989; Rice & Dyer 2001; Harmon & Stamp 2002).”
Biocrusts enhance soil fertility and Bromus tectorum growth, and interact with warming to influence germination (2018, background): “…for annual plants, while delayed germination due to minorly or moderately longer generation times can alter annual plant fitness and responses to environmental pressures (Donohue 2002; Lu et al. 2014, 2016) and has been shown to affect competitive ability inB. tectorum (Rice and Dyer 2001).”
Early bird catches the worm: germination as a critical step in plant invasion (2016, background): “The age structure of seeds in the seed bank also affects the requirements for germination (Rice and Dyer 2001; Gioria and Osborne 2013).”
Germination and seedling establishment of two annual grasses on lichen-dominated biological soil crusts (2007, background): “Cheatgrass is a prolific seeder, can germinate in most seasons, and the seed bank can remain viable for 5 years (Rice and Dyer 2001).”
Timing is everything: does early and late germination favor invasions by herbaceous alien plants? (2016, unknown): “2001; Rice and Dyer 2001; Verdú and Traveset 2005; Wainwright and Cleland 2013).”
Contingent Conclusions: Year of Initiation Influences Ecological Field Experiments, but Temporal Replication is Rare (2010, background): “…phase for plants is often the critical stage for a wide variety of long-lasting ecological phenomena, including niche differentiation (Grubb 1977; Young et al. 2005), competition (Dyer et al. 2000; Rice & Dyer 2001; Harmon & Stamp 2002), and community structure (Grubb 1977; Stampfli & Zeiter 2004).”
