• Potential impacts of invasive Spartina alterniflora on spring bird communities at Chongming Dongtan, a Chinese wetland of international importance (2009, background): “Spartina occupied about 2000 ha, which was about half of the vegetated intertidal area (data for 2005, Li et al., 2008 ).”
• Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “Considering that Spartina invasions affect other aspects of biodiversity and ecosystem processes in the estuarine wetlands (Li et al. 2008), and that Chongming Dongtan has been set aside for conserving the native biodiversity and maintaining the ecosystem integrity, Spartina invasions in the Yangtze”
• Ecophysiological characteristics of invasive Spartina alterniflora and native species in salt marshes of Yangtze River estuary, China (2009, background): “Although S. alterniflora still provides the anticipated ecological benefits in the Yangtze River estuary (e.g., Wang et al., 2008), its negative effects on the native ecosystems have become more and more obvious (Li et al., 2008).”
• Introduction and Spread of an Exotic Plant, Spartina alterniflora, Along Coastal Marshes of China (2017, background): “2005), and Shanghai and Jiangsu Provinces, China (Zhang et al. 2004; Huang and Zhang 2007; Li et al. 2009; Lin et al. 2015).”
• Ecological and Evolutionary Misadventures of Spartina (2013, background): “In the Yangtze estuary, invasive S. alterniflora alters the trophic structure of infaunal invertebrate communities and reduces food for a number of bird species (Li et al. 2009).”
