Biodiversity, soil, air, and water are the vital life-supporting systems of this planet Earth.
However, the deliberate and accidental introduction of invasive alien plants (IAPs) in the …

Invasive plants are ubiquitous features of many wetland systems, resulting in impacts that
are extremely costly in both economic and ecological terms. Approximately twenty years …

Plant root systems rely on a functionally diverse range of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to,
among other benefits, extend their nutrient foraging. Extended nutrient foraging is likely of …

Functional differences between native and exotic species, estimated when species are
grown alone or in mixtures, are often used to predict the invasion risk of exotic species …

As exotic plants invade into a new range, they can escape from specialist enemies.
However, they may support generalist enemies, including both native and introduced fungal …

Exotic plants can selectively recruit beneficial microorganisms, such as arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) and Bacillus spp., during their invasion process to enhance growth …

Aboveground herbivores and soil biota profoundly affect plant invasions. However, how they
interactively affect plant invasions through plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) remains unclear. To …

Fluctuating resource availability plays a critical role in determining non‐native plant
invasions through mediating the competitive balance between non‐native and native …

Background & Aims: Exotic plant invasions seriously threaten native biodiversity and
ecological security. Although numerous studies have explored the mechanisms of exotic …

When non‐native species invade ecosystems, coevolved plant–animal interactions and
associated ecological functions are altered, often to the detriment of local biodiversity. While …
