Plant invasion is associated with higher plant–soil nutrient concentrations in nutrient‐poor environments
Plant invasion is an emerging driver of global change worldwide. We aimed to disentangle
its impacts on plant–soil nutrient concentrations. We conducted a meta‐analysis of 215 peer …

Enhanced activity of soil nutrient‐releasing enzymes after plant invasion: a meta‐analysis
Plant invasion can significantly alter soil nutrient cycling of ecosystems. How these changes
are linked to soil enzyme activities is still unknown, however, even though these are …

Invasive knotweed has greater nitrogen-use efficiency than native plants: evidence from a 15N pulse-chasing experiment
Habitats with fluctuating resource conditions pose specific challenges to plants, and they
often favor a small subset of species that includes exotic invaders. These species must …
