• Linking soil process and microbial ecology in freshwater wetland ecosystems (2006, methodology): “Enzyme activities and lipid analysis have been used in combination to better understand microbial community response to disturbance under Phragmites and Spartina in undisturbed versus anthropogenically affected marshes (Ravit et al. 2003).”
• Salt tolerance underlies the cryptic invasion of North American salt marshes by an introduced haplotype of the common reed Phragmites australis (Poaceae) (2005, background): “…and Environmental Control Mar Ecol Prog Ser 298: 1–8, 2005 marshes alters their ecological functions and has become a major concern to natural resource managers (Able & Hagan 2003, Able et al. 2003, Currin et al. 2003, Ravit et al 2003, Rooth et al. 2003, Weis et al. 2003, Widham & Meyerson 2003).”
• Causes and Consequences of Invasive Plants in Wetlands: Opportunities, Opportunists, and Outcomes (2004, background): “Ravit et al. (2003) found reduced diversity of phospholipid fatty acids, which in turn indicate lower activity of microbial populations in soils dominated by P. australis than S. alterniflora.”
• Metal uptake, transport and release by wetland plants: implications for phytoremediation and restoration. (2004, background): “The larger root system and increased number of fine roots of S. alterniflora compared with P. australis (Ravit et al., 2003) may indicate that the former species will oxidize the rhizosphere to a greater extent, increasing the availability of metals.”
• Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “organisms and fauna, though the effects varied across sites or ecosystems (Belnap and Phillips, 2001; Yeates and Williams, 2001; Kourtev et al., 2002a; Ravit et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2007).”
