Negative per capita effects of purple loosestrife and reed canary grass on plant diversity of wetland communities (2006, background): “However, not all recent studies agree that purple loosestrife reduces the diversity of local wetland plant communities (Treberg & Husband, 1999; Farnsworth & Elis, 2001; Morrison, 2002; Hager & Vinebrook, 2004; Houlahan & Findlay, 2004).”
Riparian vegetation: degradation, alien plant invasions, and restoration prospects (2007, background): “One study in wetlands found that introduced plant species were not associated with declines in plant species diversity (Houlahan & Findlay, 2004).”
Impacts of alien plant invasions on species richness in Mediterranean-type ecosystems: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “However, some authors argue that the number of naturalized species far exceeds the number of extinctions and that, on balance, introductions over the past few centuries has increased regional biodiversity levels (Rosenzweig, 2001; Davis, 2003; Brown and Sax, 2004; Gurevitch and Padilla, 2004; Houlah”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “…obvious impacts of hypersuccessful alien plants have been to outcompete or hybridise with native plants (e.g., Boylen, Eichler & Madsen, 1999; Ailstock, Norman & Bushmann, 2001; Moody & Les, 2007; but see Houlahan & Findlay, 2004), increase the amount of plant biomass and primary production (Fig.”
Biological consequences of invasion by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) (2009, background): “…studies or experimental manipulations of RCG dominance (Green and Galatowitsch 2002; Kercher and Zedler 2004; Kercher et al. 2007), as well as spatial comparisons (Houlahan and Findlay 2004; Meier 2004; Perkins and Wilson 2005; Schooler et al. 2006), and a time-series comparison (Barnes 1999).”
