Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “Restoration of habitats can be difficult or impossible once alien species establish themselves (D'Antonio & Meyerson, 2002; Ewel & Putz, 2004).”
Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “The impacts and roles of invasive species in a habitat and ecosystem context have been widely reviewed, drawing extensively on oceanic island examples (e.g. Zavaleta et al., 2001; Levine et al., 2003; Ewel and Putz, 2004; Mooney et al., 2005), or specifically focusing on islands (e.”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…reintroduction of native species, but some practitioners have advocated a “flexible” approach to restoration that entails using non-native species (Ewel and Putz 2004; but see Sotka and Byers 2019) as well as the reintroduction of species into parts of their native range from which they have…”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “However, there are also positive effects associated with the presence of NIS in some systems (Ewel and Putz 2004), including the use of non-native predators to control herbivores (Bertness and Coverdale 2013) and planting non-native plants to extend total flower duration for pollinators (Salisbury…”
Does invasive plant management aid the restoration of natural ecosystems (2009, background): “by shielding recovering native plants from intense heat and radiation, protecting against large herbivores, restoring nutrient levels following nutrient-enrichment (Ewel and Putz, 2004)).”
Invasive Exotic Plants in the Tropical Pacific Islands: Patterns of Diversity (2009, background): “Moreover, exotic plants in secondary forests, plantations, and managed forests may facilitate site rehabilitation and the establishment of native species (Ewel & Putz 2004, Lugo 2004).”
Quantifying levels of biological invasion: towards the objective classification of invaded and invasible ecosystems (2011, background): “…high proportional abundance) of alien species typically implies major influence and the potential to affect change, some alien species may help to achieve other environmental management objectives like ecosystem restoration (Ewel & Putz, 2004; Hobbs et al., 2009; Schlaepfer et al., 2011).”
Pollination reservoirs for wild bee habitat enhancement in cropping systems: a review (2017, background): “However, non-native plants may be appropriate in some situations (Menz et al. 2011; Schlaepfer, Sax, and Olden 2011), and more economical (Ewel and Putz 2004).”
The introduced flora of Madagascar (2012, background): “…2001; FOFIFA 1990; Gachet 1966), on fruit trees and cacti (Lefèbvre 1965; Montagnac 1960; Moreuil 1971), on grasses (Bosser 1969), on legumes (Du Puy et al. 2002), on cropfield weeds (Husson et al. 2010) and on introduced and invasive species (Binggeli 2003) as well as with personal…”
Novel forests maintain ecosystem processes after the decline of native tree species (2012, background): “Where native ecosystems have long been absent, novel ecosystems clearly provide services, including degraded land reclamation, watershed protection, and carbon storage and sequestration, and can do so without any management investment (Ewel and Putz 2004).”
