Identifying hotspots for plant invasions and forecasting focal points of further spread (2009, background): “Most of the work done in identifying optimal sites for plant invasions focuses on the climatic and specific habitat characteristics that promote the growth of a particular species (e.g. Buckley, Briese & Rees 2003; Hendrix et al. 2008; Gasso et al. 2009).”
Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “These effects are often dependent upon other, soil profile disrupting disturbances such as agricultural or urban development (Hendrix et al., 2008; James, 2004; Stebbings, 1962), and it is frequently observed that when non-native species become established, they often reach higher population…”
Impacts of biological invasions: what's what and the way forward. (2013, unknown): “Landscapes overwhelmed by kudzu vines are striking, whereas disruption of soil organisms and processes by introduced earthworms did not attract signiﬁcant attention until research revealed they can transform North American forests [65].”
Spatial variability of an invasive earthworm (Amynthas agrestis) population and potential impacts on soil characteristics and millipedes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA (2011, background): “…organisms native to a particular habitat may be able to repel invading organisms (sensu Lake and O'Dowd 1991; Baltz and Moyle 1993)—has been proposed to operate in earthworm communities, but this hypothesis has not been well tested in earthworm invasions (Hendrix et al. 2006; Hendrix et al. 2008).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “Earthworms change soil processes by altering soil structure through burrowing and casting, processing litter and redistributing organic matter (Hale et al., 2005; Hendrix et al., 2008).”
Invasive Species, Environmental Change and Management, and Health (2010, background): “Other taxonomic and/or environmental groups for which the impact of alien species has been reviewed include fungi (39), insects (40, 41), earthworms (42),”
Framework and guidelines for implementing the proposed IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) (2015, background): “…productivity, nutrient cycling, geomorphology, hydrology, habitat structure and various components of disturbance regimes (Brooks et al., 2004; Hendrix et al., 2008; Suarez & Tsutsui, 2008; Kenis et al., 2009; Winter et al., 2009; Vil a et al., 2011; Py sek et al., 2012; Ricciardi et al.,…”
A Unified Classification of Alien Species Based on the Magnitude of their Environmental Impacts (2014, background): “For example, alien species have been shown to cause significant changes in native species extinction probabilities, genetic composition of native populations, behaviour patterns, species richness and abundance, phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity, trophic networks, ecosystem productivity, nutrient ”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “3f; Hendrix et al. 2008).”
The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “2013), the introduction and spread of invasive earthworms can be detrimental to soil carbon sequestration, particularly in regions where no native earthworms were present (Hendrix et al. 2008).”
