Stability of exotic annual grasses following restoration efforts in southern California coastal sage scrub (2008, background): “The first is that a competitive hierarchy (Keddy 1990; Shipley & Keddy 1994) exists in CSS vegetation, with exotic grasses dominant but exotic forbs, particularly species of Erodium, moving to dominance as exotic grasses are controlled (Brooks 2000; Allen et al. 2005; Prober et al. 2005).”
Red brome (Bromus rubens subsp. madritensis) in North America: possible modes for early introductions, subsequent spread (2005, background): “In addition, red brome reduces growth of native Mojave (Brooks 2000) and Sonoran Desert winter annuals (L. Salo, unpublished data).”
Resource pulses, species interactions, and diversity maintenance in arid and semi-arid environments (2004, background): “There is some indirect evidence that the intensity and direction of competitive interactions in annuals can vary considerably in space and time (Pantastico-Caldas and Venable 1993; Pake and Venable 1995, 1996; Kadmon 1997; Brooks 2000; Melbourne et al. 2004).”
Ecosystem Impacts of Exotic Annual Invaders in the Genus Bromus (2016, background): “Where Bromus occur with native perennials, they often have inverse relationships to density or cover of natives or may have a patchy distribution among perennial plant, bare interspace, or biological soil crust microsites , as shown for sagebrush steppe in the Northern Basin and Range and Wyoming Ba”
