Invasion impacts local species turnover in a successional system (2004, background): “L. japonica is a highly competitive vine introduced from Asia in the mid-1800s that has spread throughout the eastern and central United States and appears to affect community structure (Friedland 1982; Dillenburg et al. 1993; Meiners et al. 2001).”
Diversity declines in Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) patches (2009, background): “Oldfield studies that monitor vegetation over many decades spanning the invasion of multiple species have been used to shed light on the impact of invasion (e.g., Meiners et al., 2001, 2004).”
Management strategies for plant invasions: manipulating productivity, disturbance, and competition (2004, background): “In contrast, in unproductive environments exotic species often ‘fit in’ with the natural community without becoming dominant and having a strong effect on the native species (Knops et al ., 1995; Kolb, 1999; cited in Alpert et al ., 2000; Meiners et al ., 2001).”
Exotic plants establish persistent communities (2006, background): “Comparable community-level effects on invasibility and community composition have been discussed or observed for native-dominated plant communities (Meiners et al. 2001; Lortie et al. 2004; Meiners et al. 2004).”
Does the invasive species Reynoutria japonica have an impact on soil and flora in urban wastelands? (2009, background): “Not only can they alter floristic composition and diversity (Meiners et al. 2001), and the successional dynamics of vegetation (Yurkonis and Meiners 2004), but they can also disrupt soil properties (Ehrenfeld 2003; Vanderhoeven et al. 2005) and soil biota (Wolfe and Klironomos 2005; see Bohlen 2006…”
Impact assessment revisited: improving the theoretical basis for management of invasive alien species (2010, background): “At the community level, impacts can pertain to the abundance of resident species, community composition, species richness and soil seed bank (Meiners et al. 2001; Yurkonis and Meiners 2004; Mason et al. 2007).”
Invasion impacts diversity through altered community dynamics (2005, methodology): “A preliminary study of 14 native and 12 exotic taxa that became abundant during succession found only five species whose invasions were associated with declines in species richness ( Meiners et al . 2001 ).”
Local and regional assessments of the impacts of plant invaders on vegetation structure and soil properties of Mediterranean islands (2006, background): “Ailanthus and Oxalis occur in anthropogenic and ruderal habitats, and it has been suggested that in such habitats impacts of invasion are low due to the lesser role of competition in community structure (Williamson & Fitter, 1996; Meiners et al., 2001 ).”
Regeneration of sandy old-fields in the forest steppe region of Hungary (2011, background): “( 2001 ) found that expansion of exotic and native plant species on old-fields both decrease species richness, but exotic species tended to have a stronger effect.”
Plant Invasions and Invasibility of Plant Communities (2013, background): “Because decline in native species richness is dependent on cover of invaders (Fig. 13.9; Richardson et al. 1989; Meiners et al. 2001), indices based on a ratio of cover to frequency should be tested as impact predictors for individual taxa.”
Exotic plant invasions over 40 years of old field successions: community patterns and associations (2002, background): “Once in a community, exotics may suppress native species or prevent tree regeneration (Thomas 1980, Woods 1993, Wyckoff and Webb 1996, Hutchinson and Vankat 1997, Meiners et al. 2001).”
Effect of Invasive Plant Species on Temperate Wetland Plant Diversity (2004, background): “The evidence for the negative effects of introduced competitors on species richness is much less convincing, although there is some evidence of invasive effects in woodlands (Franks 2002) and grasslands (Meiners et al. 2001; Alvarez & Cushman 2002).”
