The 'known unknowns' of invasive species impact measurement
There are thousands of case studies documenting invasive species' impacts and these have
led to the development of over 30 hypotheses that describe how invasions occur and their …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi help explain invasion success of Solidago canadensis
LJ Dong, LN Ma, WM He - Applied Soil Ecology, 2021 - Elsevier
The importance of soil microbes as a whole has long been recognized in plant invasions, yet
relatively few studies address the relative importance of different soil microbial guilds. To this …

Pine invasion drives loss of soil fungal diversity
Plant invasions can cause biotic homogenisation which can have cascading effects on the
diversity of invaded ecosystems. These impacts on diversity are likely to be scale-dependent …

Mycoheterotrophic plants preferentially target arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that are highly connected to autotrophic plants
How mycoheterotrophic plants that obtain carbon and soil nutrients from fungi are integrated
in the usually mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal networks is unknown. Here, we compare …
