A grey future for Europe: Sciurus carolinensis is replacing native red squirrels in Italy (2013, background): “The introduction of non-native species is changing ecosystems functioning, altering materials and energy flows (Ehrenfeld 2010; Strayer 2012).”
Running off the road: roadside non-native plants invading mountain vegetation (2018, background): “Plant invasions in natural vegetation can cause impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and ecological processes, including nutrient cycling (Simberloff 2011), water production (LeMaitre et al. 1996), and fire regimes (Mack and D’Antonio 1998; Ehrenfeld 2010; Simberloff 2011).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “Consequences can then be far reaching (Ehrenfeld, 2010), as such invasive species can redistribute biomass constraints and nutrient fluxes within”
Improved detection of an alien invasive species through environmental DNA barcoding: the example of the American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (2012, background): “Alien invasive species (AIS) constitute one of major causes of biodiversity loss and global homogenization (Vitousek et al. 1997; Ficetola, Thuiller&Miaud 2007b; Ehrenfeld 2010; Pyšek & Richardson 2010).”
Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea (2012, neutral): “2003 ; Ehrenfeld 2010 ) .”
Molecular genetic tools for environmental monitoring of New Zealand's aquatic habitats, past, present and the future (2013, background): “The altered community may undergo degradation of associated ecological, economic and social values (Ehrenfeld 2010).”
Ecological impacts of invasive alien plants: a meta-analysis of their effects on species, communities and ecosystems. (2011, background): “2011), increase ecosystem productivity and alter the rate of nutrient cycling (Liao et al. 2008; Ehrenfeld 2010), and hence impact upon ecosystem services and human well-being (Pejchar & Mooney 2009).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “As such, there are a growing number of examples worldwide where the functioning of forested ecosystems has been radically transformed by invasive plants, invertebrate and vertebrate herbivores and predators, and microorganisms (Ehrenfeld 2010; Wardle et al. 2011; Simberloff et al. 2013).”
Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants (2014, background): “effects of invasive plants on ecosystem function have been previously reviewed primarily from the perspective of plant traits (Ehrenfeld 2010), while reviews of”
Incorporating uncertainty and social values in managing invasive alien species: a deliberative multi-criteria evaluation approach (2011, background): “Even for the same species, there are many examples where it causes quite different impacts on ecosystem processes at different sites or at different times (Ehrenfeld 2010).”
The relationship between invader abundance and impact (2018, background): “Furthermore, the magnitude of dissimilarity in any given trait needed to cause an ecosystem-level impact remains unknown, even for well-studied traits in terrestrial plants, such as leaf chemistry, resource acquisition, biomass accumulation, and phenology (Ehrenfeld 2010).”
How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “Ehrenfeld (2011) reviews changes in nutrient and water fluxes associated with these two invasions.”
Biogeomorphic Impacts of Invasive Species (2014, background): “Comprehensive reviews have been conducted on the impact of invasive species on ecosystem processes (e.g., Ehrenfeld 2010, Pyšek et al. 2012, Simberloff et al. 2012, Ricciardi et al. 2013), but syntheses of effects on physical processes and structures are limited (Simberloff 2011).”
The Potential Conservation Value of Non‐Native Species (2011, background): “Second, introduced species typically lead to an increase, not a decrease, in ecosystem function (Ehrenfeld 2010).”
Risks of biological control for conservation purposes (2012, background): “As knowledge accrues about the variety, frequency, and subtlety of such impacts (Ehrenfeld 2010; Simberloff 2011), it becomes incumbent to take the possibility of such impacts into account in consideration of biological control introductions, yet assessing risk seems enormously challenging.”
Mechanisms of Plant Invasions of North American and European Grasslands (2011, background): “Although this general conclusion may seem unsatisfactory, we feel the finding is based on a substantial, long-term research effort by the ecological community and is consistent with other recent summaries (e.g., Catford et al. 2009, Ehrenfeld 2010).”
