• A global assessment of invasive plant impacts on resident species, communities and ecosystems: the interaction of impact measures, invading species' traits and environment (2012, background): “Unfortunately, studies simultaneously investigating the impacts of alien plants on primary producers and on other trophic levels are scarce and only include a single species (Valtonen et al., 2006; de Groot et al., 2007; Gerber et al., 2008).”
