Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Invasive plants affect soil biota through litter and rhizosphere inputs, but the direction and
magnitude of these effects are variable. We conducted a meta‐analysis to examine the …

Non‐native tree (NNT) species have been transported worldwide to create or enhance
services that are fundamental for human well‐being, such as timber provision, erosion …

Human-induced abiotic global environmental changes (GECs) and the spread of nonnative
invasive species are rapidly altering ecosystems. Understanding the relative and interactive …

Bidens pilosa L. is native to tropical America and has widely naturized from tropical to warm
temperate regions in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and North and South America. The …

Plant invasion can significantly alter soil nutrient cycling of ecosystems. How these changes
are linked to soil enzyme activities is still unknown, however, even though these are …

Soil degradation is a major underlying cause of poverty and malnutrition in smallholder
agrarian communities across the globe. Legume diversification, through polyculture or …

Invasive plants often change a/biotic soil conditions to increase their competitiveness. We
compared the microbially mediated soil nitrogen (N) cycle of invasive Mikania micrantha and …

Invasive plants generally align with the fast side of the plant's trait economics spectrum,
characterized by fast nutrient acquisition, growth and reproduction. However, there are …

Invasive tree species decrease ecosystem resilience with negative impacts on natural
regeneration. The influence of alien tree species on ecosystems is unevenly recognized and …
