Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …

Belowground biota can deeply influence plant invasion. The presence of appropriate soil
mutualists can act as a driver to enable plants to colonize new ranges. We reviewed the …

Questions Most vegetation descriptions tacitly assume that floristic composition and
physiognomy are tightly linked. However, the two vegetation properties may not respond in a …

The introduction, establishment, and spread of invasive species in terrestrial and aquatic
environments is widely recognized as one of the most serious threats to the health …

The success of invasive plants is influenced by many interacting factors, but evaluating
multiple possible mechanisms of invasion success and elucidating the relative importance of …

Plant associated mutualists can mediate invasion success by affecting the ecological niche
of nonnative plant species. Anthropogenic disturbance is also key in facilitating invasion …

Eucalyptus tree species are widely used in Ethiopian plantations, but the impact of these
plantations on the soil fungal communities is still unknown. We assessed the changes in …

Introductions and invasions by fungi, especially pathogens and mycorrhizal fungi, are
widespread and potentially highly consequential for native ecosystems, but may also offer …

This paper reviews and discusses the main features of biological invasion by plants and the
assisted migration theory referencing a critical common factor—belowground ecology. The …

Aims Biological invasions have historically been addressed mostly from an aboveground
perspective, so little is known about the impacts of belowground invasions. We studied the …
