Native and exotic invasive plants have fundamentally similar carbon capture strategies (2010, background): “In the Sydney sandstone woodland vegetation, exotic species are unable to successfully invade the low-fertility soils and instead are confined to areas of nutrient enrichment from urban run-off (Lake & Leishman 2004).”
Effects of exotic invasive trees on nitrogen cycling: a case study in Central Spain (2009, background): “1998; Baruch and Bilbao 1999; Grotkopp and Rejma ´nek 2007) and these leaves possess traits typically associated with high decomposition rate (Cornelissen and Thompson 1997; Lake and Leishman 2004 ).”
Plant functional group identity and diversity determine biotic resistance to invasion by an exotic grass (2013, background): “Wetlands being nutrient sinks, excess nutrient supply coupled with disturbance to the vegetation cover will tend to increase vulnerability to invasion (Burke & Grime 1996; Huston 2004; Lake & Leishman 2004), especially since seedlings of introduced P. australis establish on bare fertile soil.”
Life‐history correlates of plant invasiveness at regional and continental scales (2005, background): “The native-comparison approach compares the lifehistory traits of native with non-native species in the new environment (Crawley et al. 1996; Cadotte & Lovett-Doust 2001; Lake & Leishman 2004).”
Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “While identifying and addressing possible underlying causes of the initial invasion, such as change in fire frequency (Lunt and Morgan, 2002) or nutrientenrichment (Lake and Leishman, 2004) would assist in restoring an ecosystem over the long-term (MacDougall and Turkington, 2005; Hobbs, 2007), it i”
Plant invasions in Taiwan: Insights from the flora of casual and naturalized alien species (2004, background): “…and chronographic information on alien species have been shown to be a very powerful tool to discern the patterns of plant invasions and species invasiveness (Rejmánek & Richardson, 1996; Daehler, 2001; Py s ek et al ., 2002; Wu et al ., 2003; Lake & Leishman, 2004; Py s ek et al ., 2004).”
From the backyard to the backcountry: how ecological and biological traits explain the escape of garden plants into Mediterranean old fields (2010, result): “These findings are consistent with Milbau and Stout (2008) who used an approach similar to ours, but contrast with other studies which identified these traits as important for the invasion process (Lloret et al. 2005; Goodwin et al. 1999; Cadotte and Lovett-Doust 2001; Lake and Leishman 2004; Cado”
Vulnerability of Mediterranean Basin ecosystems to climate change and invasion by exotic plant species (2006, background): “ITBS types are therefore predicted to achieve higher LAI than non-invasive species under disturbance (Lake & Leishman, 2004).”
What is the impact of Impatiens glandulifera on species diversity of invaded riparian vegetation (2006, background): “The nutrient enrichment, along with the proper disturbance regime, is considered to be a factor that enables alien species to invade a given locality (Lake and Leishman, 2004).”
A new framework for predicting invasive plant species (2007, methodology): “For instance, the sclerophyll shrublands of Sydney, Australia, are seldom colonized by invasive species except in areas where well-drained, nutrient-poor soils are modified by the additional water and nutrients associated with urban run-off (Lake & Leishman 2004).”
Species attributes and invasion success by alien plants on Mediterranean islands (2005, background): “Large leaf size is often associated with higher competitive ability, particularly in nutrient-rich moderately disturbed habitats (Grime 1979), and has previously been found to differ between alien and native species in Australia (Lake & Leishman 2004).”
Species diversity and drivers of spread of alien fungi (sensu lato) in Europe with a particular focus on France (2009, background): “Most populated countries and regions are also likely to have a higher level of environmental disturbance, which may favour invasibility (Lake and Leishman 2004).”
