Nitrogen (N) is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth. Appropriate application of N
can improve the N use efficiency (NUE) and significantly promote plants' growth. However …

Ornamental plants constitute a major source of invasive species. Gaillardia aristata (great
blanketflower) is planted worldwide and its escape has been reported in several European …

Aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic partners of many invasive plants,
however, it is still unclear how AMF contribute to traits that are important for the successful …

Global environmental changes can create novel habitats, promoting the growth of alien
plants that often exhibit broad environmental tolerance and high phenotypic plasticity …

The role of the interactions between endophytes and alien plants has been unclear yet in
plant invasion. We used a completely germ-free culture system to quantify the plant growth …

The invasion of ecosystems by strongly colonising plants such as Phragmites australis is
viewed as one of the greatest threats to plant diversity and soil properties. This study …

The impact of invasive species on native biodiversity varies across environments, with
invasion effects of amphibious plant species across terrestrial and aquatic systems …

Plant communities in North American prairie pothole wetlands vary depending on hydrology,
salinity, and anthropogenic disturbance in and around the wetland. We assessed prairie …

The invasive clonal plant Wedelia trilobata contains higher levels of ent-kaurane diterpenes,
which are precursors of gibberellins (GAs), and higher rates of clonal growth than its native …

Abstract The Novel Defense Hypothesis predicts that introduced plants may possess novel
allelochemicals which act as a defense against native generalist enemies. Here, we aim to …
