The aftermath of an invasion: Structure and composition of Central Appalachian hemlock forests following establishment of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae (2010, background): “regional declines in vegetative diversity (Boettcher and Kalisz 1990; Nilsen et al. 2001).”
On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession (2006, background): “In contrast, herbaceous perennials that senesce in the fall or deciduous shrubby species only exert competitive effects during the growing season (e.g., Nilsen et al. 2001; de la Cretaz and Kelty 2002).”
Biotic resistance to invader establishment of a southern Appalachian plant community is determined by environmental conditions (2005, background): “Regeneration patterns under Rhododendron maximum canopy differ from under other forest types (Clinton & Boring 1994), possibly owing to differences in light, soil nutrients and water ( Nilsen et al . 2001 ).”
