Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1525–1535 Abstract Introduced species escape many pathogens
and other enemies, raising three questions. How quickly do introduced hosts accumulate …

Invasive plants disrupt native biodiversity and ecosystem functions and their distribution
increase with ongoing global land-use changes. Clarifying plant nitrogen (N) uptake and …

The importance of plant-microbe associations for the invasion of plant species have not
been often tested under field conditions. The research sought to determine patterns of …

This study evaluated the soil characteristics and nitrogen-fixing bacterial (NFB) communities
inhabiting the rhizosphere of an invasive plant, Ageratina adenophora, in Southwest of …

Microbial interactions could play an important role in plant invasions. If invasive plants
associate with relatively more mutualists or fewer pathogens than their native counterparts …

Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) has replaced native Artemisia (sagebrush)/bunchgrass
communities throughout the Intermountain West. Using the framework of Jenny (1941), we …

The Curonian Spit (Lithuanian: Kursiu nerija) is a 98 km long, thin, curved sand-dune spit
that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea coast. The Curonian Spit is home to …

Decomposition intensity of leaf litters of native tree species, England oak (Quercus robur L.)
and Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.), and invasive tree species, northern red oak (Q …

Soil engineering by downy brome may be a facet of its competitiveness. Using rhizotrons in
the greenhouse, we compared the growth and plant–soil relationships of downy brome …

Rehabilitating grassland, a threatened biome, requires a comprehensive management
approach that integrates the environmental, economic and social matters in sustaining this …
