Nematodes form an important part of soil biodiversity as the most abundant and functionally
diverse animals affecting plant performance. Most studies on plant–nematode interactions …

Invasive alien plants are a major threat to biodiversity and they contribute to the
unfavourable conservation status of habitats of interest to the European Community. In order …

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a species native to the eastern North America, was
introduced to Europe probably in 1601 and currently extends over 2.3× 10 6 ha. It has …

Understanding the relationships between land-use/land-cover (LULC) patterns in
watersheds and water quality is of great significance for exploring the causes of non-point …

Abstract Knowledge of the species composition of invaded vegetation helps to evaluate an
ecological impact of aliens and design an optimal management strategy. We link a new …

Plant invasion typically alters the microbial communities of soils, which affects ecosystem
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. The responses of the soil fungal communities to plant …

Ecological stoichiometry in plants and soils is an important indicator of element cycling and
ecosystem stability that has been used to indicate nutrient limitation. However, the …

Questions European woodlands harbor at least 386 alien plant species but the factors
driving local invasions remain unknown. By using a large vegetation‐plot database, we …

This study provides a first step toward the knowledge of the alien-dominated and co-
dominated plant communities present in Italy. The first ever checklist of the alien …

The most widespread nature-based solution for mitigating climate change is tree planting.
When realized as forest restoration in historically forested biomes, it can efficiently contribute …
