Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “Many invasive plant species are not highly tolerant of shade and are more common at forest edges where light is not as limiting (Knapp and Canham 2000; Parendes and Jones 2000; Hunter and Mattice 2002).”
Water dispersal as an additional pathway to invasions by the primarily wind-dispersed tree Ailanthus altissima (2008, background): “in tree-fall gaps (Knapp and Canham 2000).”
Neighbourhood analyses of the allelopathic effects of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima in temperate forests (2008, background): “Although early studies considered it shade-intolerant and unable to invade closed forests, recent studies show that it can establish in intact forests when canopy gaps open (Kowarik 1995; Knapp & Canham 2000).”
Traditional coppice forest management drives the invasion of Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia into deciduous forests (2013, methodology): “altissima, which are still connected to the mother plant by roots, is considered more shade-tolerant than the generative offspring (Kowarik, 1995, 1996; Knapp and Canham, 2000).”
Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “Gaps are typically small and are unlikely to lead to high overall abundance by A. altissima but could enable patchy invasion and persistence (Knapp & Canham 2000).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “At a local scale, vegetation structure may be important with, for instance, natural gaps in forest being entry points for invasive species (e.g. Knapp and Canham 2000; Knight et al. 2008).”
Biological flora of Central Europe: Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (2007, background): “By colonizing open gaps, Ailanthus may reach the canopy faster than co-occurring native tree species (Knapp and Canham, 2000) and may then develop clonal ramets even in the shady sub-canopy (Kowarik, 1995).”
Seed dispersal of the non-native invasive tree Ailanthus altissima into contrasting environments (2007, background): “The presence of Ailanthus throughout the mid-Atlantic region’s interstate highway system, along with its recent discovery in harvested forest stands, mature second-growth forest (Kowarik 1995) and in oldgrowth forest canopy gaps (Knapp and Canham 2000) indicate that it is no longer confined solely t”
NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, background): “Although early studies considered it shade intolerant and unable to invade closed forests, recent studies show that it can establish in intact forests when canopy gaps open (Kowarik 1995, Knapp and Canham 2000).”
