• Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “…disturbance regimes (Mack and D’Antonio, 1998), trophic structure and food webs (Strayer et al., 2006; Gerber et al., 2008), ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling (Ehrenfeld, 2003; Standish et al., 2004), soil sedimentation (Gordon, 1998) and hydrological cycles (Richardson et al., 2007).”
• Contrasting patterns in the invasions of European terrestrial and freshwater habitats by alien plants, insects and vertebrates (2010, background): “It can be hypothesized that this is due to efficient dispersal by water, creating permanently high propagule pressure of alien species associated with this habitat (Truscott et al., 2006; Richardson et al., 2007; Kowarik & Säumel, 2008), and frequent disturbance which opens extant communities to the”
• Genetic variation in productivity of foundation riparian species at the edge of their distribution: implications for restoration and assisted migration in a warming climate (2011, background): “…deforestation in the 20th century due to land conversion to agriculture and urban development, displacement by invasive species, and river flow alteration via dams and human water use (Shafroth et al., 2002, 2008; Richardson et al., 2007); <3% of pre-20th century extent remains (Noss et al., 1995).”
• Alien plant invasions in European woodlands (2017, background): “…the fluctuating resource hypothesis (Davis, Grime, & Thompson, 2000), periodic flooding and accompanying exposure to nutrient pulses could also be responsible for an intrinsically high invasibility of riparian woodlands (e.g., Rejmánek, 2015; Richardson et al., 2007; Thébaud & Debussche, 1991).”

(2007) suggest several non-chemical control strategies (such as control of regenerating aliens, clearing alien stands, introduce biological control, fire and grazing) as main management actions to facilitate restoration of riparian plant communities.”
