Increasing world consumption of beef as a driver of regional and global change: A call for policy action based on evidence from Queensland (Australia), Colombia and Brazil (2009, background): “These exotic grasses cover most cleared forest areas now under grazing in the sub-humid to humid areas, degrading native biodiversity and ecosystem processes by outcompeting natural grasses, changing fire regimes and inhibiting tree regeneration (Williams and Baruch, 2000; Mistry and Berardi, 2005; ”
Applications of Remote Sensing to Alien Invasive Plant Studies (2009, background): “In the Southwest USA, invasions by African grasses have had substantial impacts on drylands during the past century [14].”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “In contrast with secondary forest regeneration, invasive herbaceous species in tropical forest regions clearly reduce aboveground C storage relative to secondary regeneration or mature forest cover [Ehrenfeld 2003; Lucas et al., 1996; Williams and Baruch, 2000].”
Alien plant invasion and their impact on indigenous species diversity at global scale: A review (2010, background): “Williams and Baruch, 2000 15 Carduus acanthoides L. (European Thistle) Herb Europe North America It has a high probability of establishment and persistence and has a wide impact on native species.”
Ecological impacts of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) invasion in central Australia - does field evidence support a fire-invasion feedback? (2010, background): “Exotic grass invasions are recognised internationally as a serious ecological threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function (Humphries et al. 1991;D’Antonio andVitousek 1992;Williams and Baruch 2000; Rossiter et al. 2003).”
Wide Ecological Amplitude of a Diversity-Reducing Invasive Grass (2007, background): “Two well-known examples of deliberately introduced and deliberately planted species subsequently found to have substantial negative effects on native communities are the range grasses Eragrostis lehmanniana (Lehmann lovegrass) and Pennisetum ciliare (buffelgrass) (Bock et al. 1986; Anable et al. 199”
Multi-scale impacts of crested wheatgrass invasion in mixed-grass prairie (2005, background): “Semi-arid grasslands are particularly susceptible to alien plant invasions because recent and extensive agricultural land transformations have involved multiple deliberate and accidental introductions (D’Antonio and Vitousek 1992; Williams and Baruch 2000).”
Alien plant invasions in tropical and sub-tropical savannas: patterns, processes and prospects (2010, background): “In Brazil, a number of African grasses selected for high forage and seed production potential (Klink 1996) were intentionally introduced—a practice which was still encouraged in the late 1990s (Pivello et al. 1999a).”
