Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “(Elton 1958) to incorporate a wide range of mechanisms that account for the exceptional life-history and demographical traits displayed by exotic invasive species. These mechanisms include plasticity in resource allocation (Claridge & Franklin 2002;Richards et al. 2006; Funk&Vitousek 2007), allelopa”
Grass invasion of a hardwood forest is associated with declines in belowground carbon pools (2010, background): “M. vimineum is an annual C 4 grass, which produces relatively little root biomass (Ehrenfeld et al., 2001; Claridge & Franklin, 2002), and invades the understory of a variety of forest types across a large portion of the southern and eastern United States .”
Assessing the relative importance of disturbance, herbivory, diversity, and propagule pressure in exotic plant invasion (2009, background): “This result may reflect M. vimineum’s extremely plastic response to shade and its ability to invade relatively undisturbed, late-successional forests (Barden 1987, Claridge and Franklin 2002, Drake et al. 2003).”
Environmental Correlates of the Distribution and Abundance of Microstegium vimineum, in East Tennessee (2004, background): “Yet, surprisingly little has been known of its ecological requirements, until fairly recently (but see Barden 1987, Barden 1996, Claridge and Franklin 2002, Gibson et al. 2002, Horton and Neufeld 1998, Redman 1995, and Williams 1998,).”
Diversity declines in Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) patches (2009, background): “It exhibits phenotypic plasticity (Claridge and Franklin, 2003; Cole and Weltzin, 2004), apparently able to compensate for suboptimal levels of one resource when there was a sufficient supply of some other resource.”
