Typha is an iconic wetland plant found worldwide. Hybridization and anthropogenic
disturbances have resulted in large increases in Typha abundance in wetland ecosystems …

Aim A major challenge for invasion ecology is to identify high‐impact invaders to guide
prioritization of management interventions. We argue that species with the potential to cause …

Biological invasions constitute a pervasive and growing threat to the biodiversity and
functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are key primary producers and …

Background One of the ecological impacts of exotic plant invasions may be alteration of the
soil microbial community, which may cause changes to the diversity, richness and function of …

Reciprocal interaction between plant and soil (plant–soil feedback, PSF) can determine
plant community structure. Understanding which traits control interspecific variation of PSF …

Plant invasions can have substantial consequences for the soil ecosystem, altering
microbial community structure and nutrient cycling. However, relatively little is known about …

Invasive plant species can modify soils in a way that benefits their fitness more than the
fitness of native species. However, it is unclear how competition among plant species alters …

The mechanisms by which invasive plants displace native species are often not well
elucidated, limiting knowledge of invasion dynamics and the scientific basis for management …

Typha x glauca (hybrid cattail) is an aggressive invader of wetlands in the upper Midwest,
USA. There is widespread concern about declines in plant diversity following Typha …

Understanding the mechanisms by which invasive plants maintain dominance is essential to
achieving long-term restoration goals. While many reports have suggested invasive plants …
