Field‐based competitive impacts between invaders and natives at varying resource supply (2008, background): “The few field studies that have been conducted have mostly focused on competition between exotic and native grasses (Wedin & Tilman 1996; Bakker & Wilson 2001; Corbin & D’Antonio 2004; MacDougall & Turkington 2005), examined how entrenched exotics influence native establishment (Gordon et al .”
Multi-scale impacts of crested wheatgrass invasion in mixed-grass prairie (2005, background): “However, Bakker and Wilson (2001) found the growth of transplanted B. gracilis was suppressed more in CWG pastures than old-fields dominated by native grasses; thus, the long-term persistence of B. gracilis in CWG-dominated communities remains unknown.”
Using ecological restoration to constrain biological invasion (2004, background): “Because little is known of competitive relationships among native and introduced long-lived perennial species (Pyke & Archer 1991; Bakker & Wilson 2001 ), we need to determine how to maximize invader control.”
Are invasive plant species better competitors than native plant species? - evidence from pair-wise experiments (2004, background): “Some invasive plants tend to form monospecific stands while the population of dominant native species decreases rapidly, which suggests a strong competitive effect on native species (Bakker and Wilson 2001).”
