Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, background): “Regeneration of original vegetation types after disturbance seems to be halted under certain circumstances, and some successional stages become notoriously persistent (Fuentes and others 1984; Westoby and others 1989; Puigdefábregas and Mendizabal 1998; Holmgren 2002).”
Herbivory on aquatic vascular plants by the introduced golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Lao PDR (2005, background): “It is for instance well known that invasive herbivores such as rabbits, goats and donkeys can have dramatic influences on species composition, habitat structure and ecosystem processes in terrestrial ecosystems (Donlan et al. 2002; Holmgren 2002), while the effect of invasive herbivores in freshwate”
The exotic mammals of Argentina (2008, background): “Introduced European rabbits prevent the re-colonization of clearings by matorral on the slopes and push native herbs to protected microhabitats (i.e. under the canopy of shrubs) (Jaksic and Fuentes 1980; Simonetti and Fuentes 1983; Holmgren 2002).”
