Atmospheric iron deposition: global distribution, variability, and human perturbations. (2009, background): “Conversely, increases in carbon dioxide can make arid species more able to deal with water stress and increase the productivity of plants (Smith et al. 2000).”
Range‐wide patterns of greater sage‐grouse persistence (2008, background): “Climate change has been demonstrated to enhance non-native plant invasions (Smith et al., 2000; Bradley & Mustard, 2006; Chambers et al., 2007) and dramatically alter fire frequencies (Westerling et al., 2006).”

Bromus Response to Climate and Projected Changes with Climate Change (2016, background): “Other global change factors that generally promote Bromus growth, including rising CO 2 (Smith et al. 1987 , 2000 ; Ziska et al. 2005 ), increasing N deposition (Hulbert 1955 ; Adair et al. 2008 ), and rising temperatures (Thill et al. 1979 ; Compagnoni and Adler 2014 ), are all highly dependent on…”
Characterised and Projected Costs of Nonindigenous Species in Canada (2006, background): “…and native species, and between species invasions and other environmental stressors (e.g. habitat change, over-harvesting, climate change) can be very difficult (e.g. OTA 1993; Parker et al. 1999; Simberloff and Von Holle 1999; Smith et al. 2000; Harris and Tyrrell 2001; Stachowicz et al. 2002).”
Plant Invasions and Invasibility of Plant Communities (2013, background): “In addition, the increasing CO2 level will probably accelerate invasions in arid ecosystems (Smith et al. 2000).”
Linking climate change and species invasion: an illustration using insect herbivores (2007, background): “Although, research on climate change and introduced plant species is relatively well established (e.g. Smith et al., 2000; Dukes, 2002; Kriticos et al., 2003), far less is known for nonnative insects despite their economic, social and environmental importance.”
