“…Stands of C. kobomugi form dense, largely continuous and low-lying monoculture mats with little to no space in between individuals (Small, 1954;Wootton et al, 2005) thus crowding out native species atop the dune and in the rhizosphere of the substrate (Burkitt and Wootton, 2010;Ishikawa and Kachi, 1998;Wootton, 2007;Wootton et al, 2005). The C. kobomugi has been largely responsible for reduced abundance and density of native plant species along the coast, such as A. breviligulata and Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens) (Wootton et al, 2005).…”

Worldwide, dunes buffer peripheral coastal areas from destructive abiotic elements of erosion and storms. Vegetation is a major element of these systems as roots bind sand and thereby, stabilize dunes and shoots promote dune growth. The dunes of the Mid-Atlantic U.S. are stabilized by two alpha species that compete for space and resources-native American Beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) and invasive Asiatic Sand Sedge (Carex kobomugi). Despite the importance of these species, today many of the biological and physiological factors underpinning their competition remain poorly understood. Therefore, we conducted a 7 week greenhouse competition study with transplanted A. breviligulata and C. kobomugi ramets. We manipulated substrate amount and salt spray as treatments in a factorial-designed greenhouse experiment. Despite ample acclimation prior to testing and appropriate abiotic conditions throughout, we had very low survivorship for both species. This was especially true for C. kobomugi, which may be largely intolerant of wet substrate conditions. We performed microscopy to begin to understand the morphological and physiological differences that could have drive differences in our survival rates. Our results provide information useful for the design and uses of future attempts at conducting coastal vegetation transplant studies.

Global ecological impacts of marine exotic species

et al. 2019

Exotic species are a growing global ecological threat; however, their overall effects are insufficiently understood. While some exotic species are implicated in many species extinctions, others can provide benefits to the recipient communities. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to quantify and synthesize the ecological effects of 76 exotic marine species (about 6% of the listed exotics) on ten variables in marine communities. These species caused an overall significant, but modest in magnitude (as indicated by a mean effect size of g < 0.2), decrease in ecological variables. Marine primary producers and predators were the most disruptive trophic groups of the exotic species. Approximately 10% (that is, 2 out of 19) of the exotic species assessed in at least three independent studies had significant impacts on native species. Separating the innocuous from the disruptive exotic species provides a basis for triage efforts to control the marine exotic species that have the most impact, thereby helping to meet Aichi Biodiversity Target 9 of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
