Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Allelopathy (ie, chemical interaction among species) was originally conceived as inclusive of
positive and negative effects of plants on other plants, and we adopt this view. Most studies …

Allelopathy (ie chemical interactions between plants) is known to affect individual
performance, community structure and plant invasions. Yet, a quantitative synthesis is …

Invasive plants affect soil biota through litter and rhizosphere inputs, but the direction and
magnitude of these effects are variable. We conducted a meta‐analysis to examine the …

It is increasingly acknowledged that plant–soil feedbacks may play an important role in
driving the composition of plant communities and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems …

Invasive species utilize a wide array of trait strategies to establish in novel ecosystems.
Among these traits is the capacity to produce allelopathic compounds that can directly inhibit …

Interactions between distant places are increasingly widespread and influential, often
leading to unexpected outcomes with profound implications for sustainability. Numerous …

Plant–soil feedbacks is becoming an important concept for explaining vegetation dynamics,
the invasiveness of introduced exotic species in new habitats and how terrestrial …

For many species, human-induced environmental changes are important indirect drivers of
range expansion into new regions. We argue that it is important to distinguish the range …

Biological invasions are 'natural'experiments that can improve our understanding of
contemporary evolution. We evaluate evidence for population differentiation, natural …
