• Plant-soil feedbacks: a meta-analytical review. (2008, methodology): “In all, there were 20 groups of sampling-dependent experiments in this meta-analysis, ranging in size from the group of two Hilaria jamesii experiments in Belnap et al. (2005) to the group of seven Quercus ilex experiments in Puerta-Pinero et al. (2006).”
• Conversion of sagebrush shrublands to exotic annual grasslands negatively impacts small mammal communities (2009, background): “Although much effort has focused on the effects of B. tectorum invasion on native vegetation and ecosystem processes (e.g. Knapp, 1998; Belnap et al., 2005, 2006; Rimer & Evans, 2006), the impacts on native fauna of conversion from sagebrush communities to cheatgrass-dominated mixed weedy…”
• Ecosystem Impacts of Exotic Annual Invaders in the Genus Bromus (2016, background): “Manganese (Mn) increased while potassium (K), calcium ( Ca ), and magnesium (Mg) concentrations were unchanged after 7 years of dominance by B. tectorum in sandy loam soils (Belnap et al. 2005 ).”
• Arbuscular Mycorrhizas: Drivers or Passengers of Alien Plant Invasion (2009, background): “…shift and significant reduction in abundance of soil biota, which may include AMF, has been attributed to the response of native species to soil nutrients like N, P, K present before invasion which were elevated in the soils that produced the greatest native species biomass (Belnap et al., 2005).”
• Invasion of Solidago gigantea in contrasting experimental plant communities: effects on soil microbes, nutrients and plant–soil feedbacks (2010, background): “Exotic plants can change the composition and functioning of microbial communities, alter soil food web structures and influence nutrient cycling (Ehrenfeld 2003; Belnap et al. 2005; Hawkes et al. 2005; Peltzer et al. 2009).”
• Impact of plant invasions on local arthropod communities: a meta‐analysis (2014, background): “From the moment, a species is introduced in a specific locality several processes and interactions may be affected, including shifts in plant species composition, accumulation of organic matter and interaction with abiotic factors (Belnap et al. 2005; Strayer et al. 2006).”
