Context Plants can modify their morphological or physiological traits in response to nutrient
availability and to the presence and identity of neighboring individuals. However, few …

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 …

The productivity of species‐diverse plant assemblages strongly depends on the temporal
dynamics of nutrient uptake by competing neighbouring plants. Our understanding …

Intercrop** (IC) is a promising approach used to improve soil health and sustainable crop
production. However, it is unknown whether IC improve the soil health status and biomass …

Abstract Background and Aims Competition between intercropped species is important for
yield advantage, but little attention has been given to interspecific competitive dynamics in …

Background and aims Few studies have addressed the effects of root physiological plasticity
on interspecific interactions. The present study aimed to investigate the plasticity of wheat …

Background and aims Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) input has changed
the relative importance of nutrient elements. This study aimed to examine the effects of …

Plants may modify soil biogeochemical properties that facilitate their invasion of new sites
which may be mediated by soil microorganisms. We compared microbially-mediated soil …

Intercrop** is a promising model for ecological intensification of modern agriculture. Little
information is available on how species growth patterns are affected by size-asymmetric …

Why nonnative invasive plant species commonly co‐occur, despite their competitive
superiority and propensity to displace native species, remains a paradox in invasion biology …
