Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “In the eastern parts of its range, F. alnus colonizes a wide range of habitats and forms dense, monospecific stands that exclude native understory species (Converse 1984) and reduce canopy tree recruitment (Frappier et al. 2003a; Fagan and Peart 2004).”
Changes in forest structure and species composition following invasion by a non-indigenous shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) (2008, background): “…frangula presence was more important than abiotic factors in explaining herb abundance and native tree seedling density and species richness, and Fagan and Peart (2004) found that R. frangula was associated with reduced native sapling survival and growth as well as a shift in composition toward…”
Deer and Invasive Plant Species Suppress Forest Herbaceous Communities and Canopy Tree Regeneration (2011, background): “Those species most tolerant to invasive species are expected to dominate the community (Standish et al. 2001; Fagan and Peart 2004).”
