Plants can produce and release allelochemicals to interfere with the establishment and
growth of conspecific and interspecific plants. Such allelopathy is an important mediator …

Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp. have been reported as major invaders in several regions
and Mediterranean climates. It has been documented that E. globulus and E. camaldulensis …

The patchy distribution of trees typical of savannas often results in a discontinuous
distribution of water, nutrient resources, and microbial communities in soil, commonly …

Plants growing outside their native range may be confronted by new regimes of herbivory,
but how this affects plant chemical defence profiles has rarely been studied. Using Plantago …

Abstract Australian Acacia species ('wattles') have been transported across the globe, with
devastating effects in some introduced ranges where they have become invasive. However …

Many invasive alien species (IAS) produce secondary metabolites that affect how other
plants function (allelopathic compounds) and can drive other species invasion, as proposed …

Abstract Background and Aims Some plant species suppress competitors through release of
chemical compounds into the environment. As the production of allelochemicals may be …

Invasive Australian acacias cause substantial biodiversity impacts in South Africa's Core
Cape Subregion (CCR) via positive plant-soil feedbacks, driven by high growth rates and …

Seeds express various germination behaviors in response to competitor plants. However,
germination behaviors in response to facilitator plants are not yet well understood. Rumex …

Elton's classic diversity-invasibility hypothesis posits that diversity of resident communities
increases resistance against invaders. We tested whether the diversity-invasibility …
