Studies of allelopathy in terrestrial systems have experienced tremendous growth as interest
has risen in describing biochemical mechanisms responsible for structuring plant …

Progress in understanding allelopathic interactions among plants has long been hampered
by the complexity of the many direct and indirect interactions involved. Plant processes and …

Although invasive plant species often reduce diversity, they rarely cause plant extinctions.
We surveyed paired invaded and uninvaded plant communities from three biomes. We …

Despite the ubiquity of invasive organisms and their often deleterious effects on native flora
and fauna, the consequences of biological invasions for human health and the ecological …

Lonicera maackii is an invasive shrub in North America for which allelopathic effects toward
other plants or herbivores have been suspected. We characterized the major phenolic …

Plant invasions disrupt native plant reproduction directly via competition for light and other
resources and indirectly via competition for pollination. Furthermore, shading by an invasive …

Germination inhibitors, which inhibit the germination of seeds, spores and other plant
reproductive material, are abundant in the plant kingdom and include phenols, cyanides …

The non-native invasive deciduous shrub Lonicera maackii causes a reduction in plant
growth and species diversity under its canopy. The mechanisms of these effects are not fully …

Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is a Eurasian native that has become invasive in North
America. The invasive success of A. petiolata has been partly attributed to its production of …

Introduced, non-native organisms are of global concern, because biological invasions can
negatively affect local communities. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities have …
