ABSTRACT Elton’s diversity-invasibility hypothesis predicts that high-diversity native communities should be less easily invaded than low-diversity communities. Although various mechanisms have been proposed to explain it, it remains unclear which of those is more important and whether they operate simultaneously. Using one pool plant species invasive alien naturally co-occur in China, we here tested four separate experiments nutrient availability, allelopathy, soil microbiota soil-legacy effects can all mediate the relationship. While soil-nutrient biota separately influenced biomass production communities, our results suggest only allelopathy relationship study system. Importantly, by excluding potential nutrient-competition experiment, competition alone not necessarily related negative

Abstract Background Plants condition the soil in which they grow, thereby altering performance of subsequent plants growing this soil. This phenomenon, known as plant-soil feedback (PSF), has garnered increasing interest. Experiments are moving from single species pairings glasshouse to community-level field trials. Consequently, our knowledge role PSF plays shaping ecosystem functions advanced. However, gaps remain. Scope Here, we explore intrinsic and extrinsic abiotic biotic drivers such maternal effects, plant functional traits, self-DNA, plant-plant competition, herbivory, interactions between organisms, temperature, drought, flooding, greenhouse gases, (micro)nutrients, plant-litter-soil priority effects. These have begun feature experiments, mechanistic understanding PSF. Nonetheless, many these topics received insufficient coverage determine general principles across larger temporal spatial scales. Further, conflicting terminology excluded studies reviews meta-analyses. We review terms sickness, Janzen-Connell hypothesis, soil-related invasive work, legacies, allelopathy succession that overlap with but generally not named such. Conclusion Holistic experimental designs consider continual reciprocal environment, soil, well unification terminologies necessary if realise full potential for steering processes. compile outstanding questions related research emphasis aforementioned suggest ways incorporate them into future order advance ecology.

Abstract Evolution can occur over contemporary timescales, which may be crucial for the invasive success of non-native plant species. Many studies have shown rapid evolution by comparing native and populations in common gardens. However, our understanding mechanisms underpinning is still incomplete. Here, we identify progress, applications, limitations on plants with respect to sampling, experimental design methods. To encompass broad variation within between ranges, recommend sampling across large-scale environmental gradients. We also suggest careful consideration pitfalls related choice seed families biotic interaction under focus.

Exotic invasive plants are present in almost all terrestrial ecosystems. Their spread and ability to colonize new habitats predicted increase with human travel, global trade, climate change. These alter the environments they invade multiple ways, affecting surrounding species. Chemically, can modify their environment by releasing secondary metabolites such as root exudates (liquid) or airborne (gaseous) volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The allelopathic effect of species' is well studied acknowledged a trait contributing invasiveness. However, less known about effects VOCs, which likely play important ecological roles. Therefore, we conducted systematic review literature during last decade (2012–2022) explore what aspects VOCs emitted plants, focusing on factors emission (genetic, biotic, abiotic), role plant-plant plant-insect interactions. We found 29 studies matching our search criteria. suggest that species more “chemically diverse” than native counterparts have different chemical behavior compared invaded ranges. further highlight traits heritable contribute Multiple biotic abiotic plants' VOC been explored (e.g., herbivory, soil microorganisms, warming, CO 2 ). indicate may experience variation emissions response environmental change natives, trade-offs between growth, reproduction defense influencing emissions.

While volatile-mediated interactions insects remain poorly studied, existing shows plant potential disrupt communication insects. But use cues make foraging/oviposition decisions, compensating for disruptive VOCs. To conclude, identify knowledge gaps propose avenues future research.

The success of invasive species is often attributed to rapid post-introduction evolution, due novel selection pressures at the introduced range. However, evolutionary shifts in invasion-promoting traits can also take place within range over time. Here, we first present a review proposed hypotheses regarding and trait divergence along gradients invasion history studies that examined them. In addition, results meta-analysis aimed provide more general overview current knowledge on evolution with time since introduction. Invasion-promoting traits, including growth, competitive ability dispersal ability, were decline established populations long attenuation pressures, such as enemy release or interspecific competition, while herbivore defence was suggested increase. Our reveal indication for plants residence most studied traits. this did not have consistent direction except which, contrast our prediction, increased lack empirical support predicted change suggests might be affected by other context-dependent factors climatic routes.
