• Changes in light and nitrogen availability under pioneer trees may indirectly facilitate tree invasions of grasslands (2003, background): “Bragg & Hulbert 1976; Scholes & Archer 1997; Van Auken 2000; Briggs et al . 2002 ).”
• The role of herbivores in Great Plains conservation: comparative ecology of bison and cattle (2011, background): “…key environmental factors include fire regimes (Wright and Bailey 1982, Knapp et al. 1998, Brockway et al. 2002), landscape complexity and size (Herkert 1994, With et al. 2008), water distribution (Bailey et al. 1996, Augustine 2010), and woody vegetation (Archer et al. 1995, Briggs et al. 2002).”
• Woody Plant Encroachment and Removal in Mesic Grassland: Production and Composition Responses of Herbaceous Vegetation (2005, background): “Due to changes in land use accompanied by fire suppression, woody species, primarily C3 shrubs, have increased in density and cover at the expense of the dominant C4 grasses (Bragg and Hulbert, 1976; Abrams, 1986; Knight et al., 1994; Briggs et al., 2002b).”
