Invasive plants affect soil biota through litter and rhizosphere inputs, but the direction and
magnitude of these effects are variable. We conducted a meta‐analysis to examine the …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) represent a promising treatment option for micropollutants
(MPs) in wastewater with the aid of their eco-friendly, low-energy, economically feasible, and …

Although it is generally acknowledged that invasions by exotic plant species represent a
major threat to biodiversity and ecosystem stability, little attention has been paid to the …

The residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) have been widely detected in rivers,
the gulf, and even groundwater and drinking water, which may pose a serious threat to …

Plant invasion potentially alters ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. However, the
overall direction and magnitude of such alterations are poorly quantified.• Here, 94 …

The effects of mineral fertilizer (NPK) and organic manure on phospholipid fatty acid profiles
and microbial functional diversity were investigated in a long-term (21-year) fertilizer …

▪ Abstract Feedback between plants and the soil is frequently invoked on the basis of
evidence of mutual effects. Feedback can operate through pathways involving soil physical …

Soil microbes and their functions play important roles in the sustainable development of
agricultural ecosystems but are vulnerable to climate change and human activity. We …

As exotic plant species invade ecosystems, ecologists have been attempting to assess the
effects of these invasions on native communities and to determine what factors influence …

Soil communities can have profound effects on invasions of ecosystems by exotic plant
species. We propose that there are three main pathways by which this can happen. First …
