Impacts of restoration treatments on alien plant invasion in Pinus ponderosa forests, Montana, USA (2006, background): “While decreasing alien abundance with time has been documented in other studies ( Meiners, Pickett & Cadenasso 2002; Petryna et al. 2002), this trend was not yet evident at our study site, where transformer abundance increased in all treatments from 2003 to 2005.”
Aquatic pollution increases the relative success of invasive species (2010, background): “For example, significant declines in abundance and richness of exotic plants have been found over time in old fields (Meiners et al. 2002).”
Invasion impacts diversity through altered community dynamics (2005, background): “Field effects on community dynamics most likely reflect legacies from different abandonment regimes and successional trajectories that lead to variation in composition across the site (Myster & Pickett 1990; Meiners et al. 2002).”
Plant Invasions and Invasibility of Plant Communities (2013, background): “Nevertheless, available evidence indicates that only very few non-native species invade successionally advanced plant communities (Rejmánek 1989; Meiners et al. 2002).”
Successfully Recovered Grassland: A Promising Example from Romanian Old‐Fields (2006, background): “Recently, more attention has been given to the role of alien species in succession (Davis et al. 2001; Meiners et al. 2001) and the temporal distribution of aliens in old-field succession (Meiners et al. 2002).”
Plant colonization windows in a mesic old field succession (2003, background): “Total cover exceeded 100% very early in the succession and increases further, eventually stabilizing around 150% (Meiners et al. 2002).”
Management strategies for plant invasions: manipulating productivity, disturbance, and competition (2004, background): “This change may be accompanied by a reduction in the relative abundance and species richness of herbaceous exotic species (Sax, 2002; Meiners et al ., 2002), which suggests that, at least in some cases, the invasive exotic species of disturbed sites may be less shade tolerant, or otherwise less…”
Beyond biodiversity: individualistic controls of invasion in a self‐assembled community (2004, background): “While the proportion of exotic species has decreased over time, and field scale richness increased, species richness per plot has remained near 13 species per plot (Meiners et al. 2002).”
From the backyard to the backcountry: how ecological and biological traits explain the escape of garden plants into Mediterranean old fields (2010, background): “Although the majority of plants imported for horticulture will never become invasive (Williamson and Fitter 1996; Burt et al. 2007), many successful horticultural escapees have caused severe economic ( McNeely 2001; Pimentel et al. 2005) and ecological damages (Vitousek et al. 1997; Whelan et al. 2”
Regeneration of sandy old-fields in the forest steppe region of Hungary (2011, background): “Disturbance is one of the principal factors favouring community invasibility (Fox & Fox 1986; Hobbs 1989; Meiners et al. 2002), thus abandoned agricultural lands are often dominated by exotic plants (Pickett 1982; Rejmánek 1989; D’Antonio et al. 1999; Cramer et al. 2008).”
The relationship between invader abundance and impact (2018, background): “However, parts of this debate may be addressed empirically by formulating the question as whether the function (i.e., effect and impact) of invaders on a community or ecosystem fundamentally differs from native species (Meiners et al. 2002).”
Mechanisms for Dominance in An Early Successional Old Field by the Invasive Non-Native Lespedeza Cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don (2004, background): “The effects of invasive plants on remnant natural areas and their increasing dominance in the land- scape are a major concern to both ecologists and land managers (Coblentz 1990; Meiners et al. 2002).”
