Current mismatch between research and conservation efforts: The need to study co-occurring invasive plant species (2013, background): “Both species are reported to reduce native herbaceous species biomass when found alone (Flory and Clay, 2010; Rodgers et al., 2008).”
Deer and Invasive Plant Species Suppress Forest Herbaceous Communities and Canopy Tree Regeneration (2011, background): “In experimental communities, M. vimineum decreases native plant biomass and changes the composition of native plant communities (Flory and Clay 2010a).”
Experimental evidence for indirect facilitation among invasive plants (2014, methodology): “Then, we planted all plots with seed from 12 native woodland herbaceous species and nine native tree species (see Flory & Clay 2010a,b for species lists).”
Experimental plant invasion reduces arthropod abundance and richness across multiple trophic levels (2010, background): “When an invasive plant decreases native plant species abundance and richness, as does M. vimineum (Flory and Clay 2009, 2010), the reduction in the native litter and the growing amount of non-native litter may alter the decomposer community, with consequences for the ecosystem (Mayer et al. 2005,…”
Invasive species: “back-seat drivers” of ecosystem change? (2012, unknown): “…stands in association with the disturbance required to establish the experiment, but became a driver of changes in plant community composition (Flory and Clay 2010a), reduced growth and reproduction of native species (Bauer and Flory 2011), slowed plant succession (Flory and Clay 2010b) and…”
