The state of growth of invasive species has a significant impact on the microbial regulation of
the soil carbon (C) cycle. This study focused on the growth of Spartina alterniflora treated …

An emerging consensus is reached that microbial necromass carbon (MNC) significantly
contributes to the formation and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC). Yet less is known …

The phenomenon of plant invasion is a consequence of invading plants' exceptional range
expansion into new geographic areas. Even though older naturalists were aware of the …

Boreal peatlands have been experiencing increased abundances of symbiotic dinitrogen-
fixing woody plants (mainly alder species). However, how alder encroachment alters soil …

Introduction Plant invasion can profoundly alter ecosystem processes driven by
microorganisms. The fundamental mechanisms linking microbial communities, functional …

Plant invasions represent a major global change in the carbon cycle. Soil respiration (Rs)
comprises autotrophic respiration (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh). Understanding …

Plant diversity may respond differently in terms of whether it can drive plant invasions in
freshwater ecosystem. Linkages and interactions between diversity and invasibility have not …

Species interactions shape native plant communities, influencing both composition and
ecosystem processes, with invasion by non‐native species threatening these dynamic …

Northern mixed-grass prairie rangelands are threatened by increasing drought severity and
invasion by annual grasses. However, it is unclear whether climate change will amplify or …

This study highlights the coupling effect of disturbance and Lantana camara invasion on
vegetation and soil properties in the least disturbed (LD), moderately disturbed (MD) and …
