Composition of soil seed banks in southern California coastal sage scrub and adjacent exotic grassland (2008, background): “In an optimistic view on the potential for restoration of invaded California grasslands, Seabloom et al. (2003) suggested that augmenting the native seed bank could be a successful strategy.”
Intact forests provide only weak resistance to a shade‐tolerant invasive Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) (2006, background): “Resistance to invasion, usually in the form of competition from the native community, is commonly assumed to be a primary determinant of exotic plants invasions (Levine 2000; Seabloom et al. 2003; Meiners et al. 2004).”
A meta‐analysis of biotic resistance to exotic plant invasions (2004, positive): “When we included studies of foliar fungal pathogens (Siemann & Rogers 2003; DeWalt et al. 20043 ), raising the total number of experiments to seven, the result was the same [d ¼ 0.11 ± 0.26 (95% CI)].”
Modelling integrated weed management of an invasive shrub in tropical Australia (2004, background): “Seabloom et al. (2003) showed experimentally that exotic annual grasses in California are not superior competitors to the native perennials but are better at exploiting disturbances caused by overgrazing and drought.”
The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “However, in Meditteranean-type grasslands in California, native propagule pressure may be a more important factor in restoration than nutrient manipulation (Seabloom et al. 2003; Corbin and D’Antonio 2004).”
Field‐based competitive impacts between invaders and natives at varying resource supply (2008, background): “Experiments that have examined competition between invading annual exotic grasses and native perennials have suggested that exotics may be poorer competitors in relation to natives (Seabloom et al. 2003b; Corbin & D’Antonio 2004; and MacDougall & Turkington 2005).”
The phenology of plant invasions: a community ecology perspective (2011, neutral): “– Continued Spatial and Opportunities Data types Description Examples temporal scales and challenges Species Generally, government- USDA PLANTS database Generally excellent Provides important informainformation or non-profit-based (http://plants.usda.gov/); spatial coverage at the tion to supplement”
Temporal Changes in Native and Exotic Vegetation and Soil Characteristics following Disturbances by Feral Pigs in a California Grassland (2006, background): “As a result, their seeds are relatively rare in the seed rain and natural recruitment is low (Peart 1989b; Dyer et al. 1996; Hamilton et al. 1999; Seabloom et al. 2003 ).”
Litter legacy increases the competitive advantage of invasive Phragmites australis in New England wetlands (2011, background): “ecology ( Seabloom et al. 2003; Levine et al. 2003 and 2006; MacDougall et al. 2009).”
Using priority effects to manipulate competitive relationships in restoration (2017, background): “…system, the competitive relationships between native perennials and exotic annuals are known to depend on life stage (Vaughn & Young 2015): whereas exotic annuals can outcompete perennial seedlings (e.g. Dyer & Rice 1997), established perennials suppress exotic annuals (e.g. Seabloom et al. 2003).”
Timing is everything: does early and late germination favor invasions by herbaceous alien plants? (2016, positive): “Competition can also affect the direction and magnitude of the effects of early germination (Ross and Harper 1972), as shown in many comparisons between alien/invasive and native species (Abraham et al. 2009; Dickson et al. 2012; Grman and Suding 2010; Körner et al. 2008; Seabloom et al. 2003; Ste”
Alternative states models provide an effective framework for invasive species control and restoration of native communities (2010, positive): “A number of studies have identified newly imposed disturbance or alterations to historical disturbance regimes as a mechanism of plant invasion (Hobbs 1991; Seabloom et al. 2003; MacDougall & Turkington 2005).”
Seed predation, not seed dispersal, explains the landscape‐level abundance of an early‐successional plant (2006, background): “By revealing that seed predation, not dispersal, can limit the landsape-level abundance of an early-successional species, our work also suggests that success of conservation and restoration strategies that reduce dispersal limitation via direct seed addition (e.g. Primack & Miao 1992; Pywell et al. ”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, neutral): “An important consideration is that ecosystem change or invasive species may eliminate propagules of native species from a site, so that under any model of invasion, recovery may be dispersal limited (Seabloom et al. 2003).”
