Invasive plants can change soil properties resulting in improved growth. Although invaders
are known to alter soil chemistry, it remains unclear if chemicals secreted by roots facilitate …

Background Invasive plant species pose a global threat because they alter ecosystem
functioning and biodiversity. The majority of plants form mutualistic mycorrhizal associations …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important mutualistic microbes in soil, which have
capacity to form mutualistic associations with most land plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi …

Festuca rubra is one of the dominant species in mountain high natural values grasslands.
Most herbaceous plants are involved in a symbiotic partnership with arbuscular mycorrhizas …

Premise Invasive species tend to possess acquisitive plant traits that support fast growth and
strong competitive ability. However, the relevance of symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal …

Native vegetation degradation impacts soil communities and their functions. However, these
impacts are often studied by comparing soil biotic attributes across qualitatively defined …

Mycorrhizal symbiosis has received relatively little attention as a mechanism explaining
plant naturalizations at a global scale. Here, we combined data on vascular plant species …

In this study, six vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs) planted with Phragmites
australis were operated at different aeration times (4 h day− 1 and 8 h day− 1), aeration …

The Chilean matorral is a heavily threatened Mediterranean-type ecosystem due to human-
related activities such as anthropogenic fires. Mycorrhizal fungi may be the key …

Plant invasion has severely damaged ecosystem stability and species diversity worldwide.
The cooperation between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant roots is often …
