The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) is the best‐known hypothesis explaining high
performance (eg rapid population growth) of exotic species. However, the current framing of …

Feedback between plants and their associated soil biota is an important driver of plant
distribution, abundance and community composition with consequences for ecosystem …

Root traits including root exudates are key factors affecting plant interactions with soil and
thus play an important role in determining ecosystem processes. The drivers of their …

Invasive plants can alter soil microbial communities and generate positive plant–soil
feedbacks that facilitate their performance, but the magnitude and direction of feedbacks …

Introduction Ecological underpinnings of the invasion success of exotic plants may be found
in their interactions with microbes, either through the enemy release hypothesis and the …

Plant-soil feedbacks have been recognised as playing a key role in a range of ecological
processes, including succession, invasion, species coexistence and population dynamics …

It has been established by research on plant invasions that soil biota and availability of
nutrients affect the processes of alien species establishment and spread. So far, attention …

Soil microbial networks play a crucial role in plant community stability. However, we lack
knowledge on the network topologies associated with stability and the pathways shaping …

Spatial heterogeneity in plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) has been evidenced to influence plant
growth. However, it is unclear whether patch size and contrast of PSF heterogeneity …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is recognized as an important mechanism shaping plant
communities and determining plant abundance and coexistence. Under natural conditions …
