“…The biomass estimates and species composition found in local studies conducted at the experiment domains are mostly consistent with the regional characteristics. For example, Katz et al (2010) show biomass values in the MB domain very close to the mean value of the region, while Ahmed et al (2013) show that in the Harvard Forest area (which is not atypical in the MA domain) the biomass values may be on the high end of the regional values but within the range.…”

Soil moisture dynamics in the presence of dense vegetation canopies are determinants of ecosystem function and biogeochemical cycles, but the capability of existing spaceborne sensors to support reliable and useful estimates is not known. New results from a recently initiated field experiment in the northeast United States show that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) satellite is capable of retrieving soil moisture under temperate forest canopies. We present an analysis demonstrating that a parameterized emission model with the SMAP morning overpass brightness temperature resulted in a RMSD (root-mean-square difference) range of 0.047-0.057 m 3 /m 3 and a Pearson correlation range of 0.75-0.85 depending on the experiment location and the SMAP polarization. The inversion approach included a minimal amount of ancillary data. This result demonstrates unequivocally that spaceborne L-band radiometry is sensitive to soil moisture under temperate forest canopies, which has been uncertain because of lack of representative reference data.

“…This interaction can be explained by the increasing sensitivity to disturbance as fragments get smaller (increased edge:interior ratio) (dos , and by the assumption that anthropogenic disturbance promotes the invasion of alien species in forest patches (Hobbs 2011). These factors can either impact forest composition regardless of land use history or can disproportionately affect forests with specific land use histories (Katz et al 2010). Land use history remains a major determinant of forest composition and structure (Flinn and Marks 2007;Martínez 2010), and many studies have indicated that the history of use may increase the abundance of invasive plants in forest landscapes (Von Holle and Motzkin 2007;DeGasperis and Motzkin 2007;Martínez 2010;Siderhurst et al 2012).…”

Community structure, succession and invasibility in a seasonal deciduous forest in southern Brazil

et al. 2014

Majority of invasive trees colonize grasslands, shrublands, and temperate forests. Hovenia dulcis is an exception, because it is one of the most pervasive invaders in Brazilian subtropical forests where it has changed their structure and composition. This study has aimed to identify the clues for its success by defining the structural and functional characteristics of plant communities in different stages of succession with and without H. dulcis. Following the general assumptions of invasion ecology, we expected that H. dulcis establishment and invasion success would be significantly higher in early successional communities, with high resource availability and low species richness and diversity, as well as low functional diversity. Contrary to this hypothesis, no differences were found between plant communities invaded and non-invaded by H. dulcis at three different succession stages. No relationship was found between species richness and diversity and functional diversity, with respect to invasibility along the successional gradient. Hovenia dulcis is strongly associated with semi-open vegetation, where the species was found in higher density. The invasion of open vegetation is more recent, providing evidence of the species's ability to invade plant communities in early successional stages. We concluded that the colonization by H. dulcis was associated with forest openness, but the species is also able to colonize semiElectronic supplementary material The online version of this article (

“…Potential explanations for these conflicting findings are differences in soil types and phenotypic plasticity of flowering times across environmental gradients, as well as landscape features that promote dispersal (e.g., stone walls, hedgerows, river corridors) that have been known to offset land-use legacy effects (Byers and Quinn 1998 ). In addition, agricultural legacy, paired with forest pests, have worked in tandem to allow for the increase in frequency and cover of garlic mustard (Katz et al 2010 ). Climate change is likely further complicating interactions as warming and elevated carbon dioxide levels have been found to lower garlic mustard's allelopathic impact (Anderson and Cipollini 2013 ).…”

Where Is Garlic Mustard? Understanding the Ecological Context for Invasions of Alliaria petiolata

The invasive plant Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) has spread throughout forest understory and edge communities in much of North America, but its persistence, density, and impacts have varied across sites and time. Surveying the literature since 2008, we evaluated both previously proposed and new mechanisms for garlic mustard's invasion success and note how they interact and vary across ecological contexts. We analyzed how and where garlic mustard has been studied and found a lack of multisite and longitudinal studies, as well as regions that may be under- or overstudied, leading to poor representation for understanding and predicting future invasion dynamics. Inconsistencies in how sampling units are scaled and defined can also hamper our understanding of invasive species. We present new conceptual models for garlic mustard invasion from a macrosystems perspective, emphasizing the importance of synergies and feedbacks among mechanisms across spatial and temporal scales to produce variable ecological contexts.
