Biodiversity, phenology and temporal niche differences between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands (2011, background): “…experiment at our site with the additions of native and exotic species to exotic (Bothriochloa ischaemum) dominated fields found essentially no seedling establishment (unpublished data), results which were consistent with the low establishment seen in an earlier study by Wilsey and Polley (2003).”
Relationships Among Indices Suggest that Richness Is an Incomplete Surrogate for Grassland Biodiversity (2005, methodology): “We analyzed data (Table 1) from three Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) sites (Inouye et al. 1987, Milchunas et al. 1990, Huberty et al. 1998) and three sites in Texas (Wilsey and Polley 2003, Polley et al. 2005).”
Patterns of Plant Species Diversity in Remnant and Restored Tallgrass Prairies (2005, background): “It is not obvious, however, that the addition of seeds alone will suffice to restore S to the level of remnant prairies (i.e., Wilsey & Polley 2003).”
Assessing grassland restoration success: relative roles of seed additions and native ungulate activities (2006, background): “Wilsey & Polley (2003) found that, even when seedling emergence was high, plant diversity was unchanged because of low seedling survival in a Texas grassland.”
GRASSLAND DIVERSITY AND PRODUCTIVITY: THE INTERPLAY OF RESOURCE AVAILABILITY AND PROPAGULE POOLS (2004, background): “Our findings contrast with Wilsey and Polley (2003) who found no effect of seed addition on diversity and productivity in subhumid Texas grasslands.”
Effects of litter on seedling establishment in natural and semi‐natural grasslands: a meta‐analysis (2013, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 101, 454–464 2006; Viard-Cretat et al. 2010), herbivores (Facelli 1994; Wilsey & Polley 2003; Donath & Eckstein 2012) or mowing (Nash Suding & Goldberg 1999; Stammel, Kiehl & Pfadenhauer 2006).”
Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function Research: Is It Relevant to Conservation? (2005, background): “Increasing propagule pressure (i.e. increasing dispersal from the regional pool) increases productivity and diversity in grasslands under some conditions (Foster & Dickson 2004, Foster et al. 2004) but not others (Foster & Dickson 2004, Foster et al. 2004, Wilsey & Polley 2003).”
Propagule pools mediate community assembly and diversity‐ecosystem regulation along a grassland productivity gradient (2004, background): “The study of Wilsey & Polley (2003) , which was specifically designed to examine effects of propagule limitation on diversity and community biomass in native Texas grasslands, found no such effect on productivity.”
Realistically Low Species Evenness Does Not Alter Grassland Species-Richness-Productivity Relationships (2004, background): “Legumes were not included because they normally compose only ;1% of the productivity of Blackland prairie communities (Wilsey and Polley 2003).”
