Influence of shrub encroachment on aboveground net primary productivity and carbon and nitrogen pools in a mesic grassland (2004, background): “…encroachment within grasslands is a worldwide phenomenon, a better understanding of how shrub encroachment in grasslands alters C dynamics is important for quantifying and balancing the global C budget (Archer 1990; Scholes and Archer 1997; Van Auken 2000; Roques et al. 2001; Silva et al. 2001).”
Spatial and temporal patterns of recent forest encroachment in montane grasslands of the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, USA (2007, background): “, 2003), and also in temperate and tropical grassland and savanna systems globally (e.g. Burkhardt & Tisdale, 1976; Bowman & Panton, 1995; Miller & Rose, 1995; Silva et al., 2001).”
The role of topkill in the differential response of savanna woody species to fire (2003, background): “In some tropical savannas, increases in tree cover have been observed under annual burning (Silva et al., 2001; Dauget and Menaut, 1992 as cited by Hochberg, 1994).”
