“…In conclusion, we have shown that the AMF colonization of the Asteraceae neophytes can be high in severe monodominant invasions and that changes in plant dominance did not serve as predictors of the extent of AMF colonization of native or archeophyte plants. The present study did not argue against previous repeatedly reported observations claiming that reduced colonization by AMF is associated with reduced competitiveness of native or archeophyte plants when exposed to invasion by neophytes (Chen et al 2020). However, the reduced colonization by AMF was not a prerequisite for such an invasion, at least in terms of the four studied neophytes of the Asteraceae family.…”

“…The exchange of plant photosynthates for limiting nutrients, such as phosphorus or nitrogen, is beneficial as long as these nutrients are limiting. However, under high phosphorus (or high nitrogen) conditions, maintaining a high level of AMF colonization results in unnecessary carbon output and leads to growth depression (Chen et al 2020;Grman 2012;Hoeksema et al 2010;Kempel et al 2013). In agreement with Luo et al (2019), we found that the invaded neophyte species had greater or equal hyphal colonization than native or archeophyte species, which highlights the importance of AMF for neophyte species (Lekberg et al 2013).…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) are globally distributed symbionts of plant roots. Relationships with arbuscular mycorrhizae can provide crucial support for the establishment of any plant in an unfavorable environment. We hypothesized that invasions of neophytes are associated with changes in the colonization of native plants and early invaders (archeophytes) by AMF. We examined changes in AMF colonization in yarrow Achillea millefolium, wild carrot Daucus carota (native plants), tansy Tanacetum vulgare and false oat-grass Arrhenatherum elatius (archeophytes) in response to the invasion of four neophytes from the Asteraceae family, namely great globe-thistle Echinops sphaerocephalus, New York aster Symphyotrichum novi-belgii agg., annual fleabane Erigeron annuus, and Canada goldenrod Solidago canadensis. We found that the AMF colonization of the Asteraceae neophytes was high in the studied monodominant invasions, and the AMF colonization of the neophytes was higher than or equal to that of the studied native plants and archeophytes. Changes in plant dominance did not serve as predictors of the extent of AMF colonization of the native plants and archeophytes despite the invaded plots being associated with strong changes in the availability of primary and secondary mineral nutrients. The absence of a response of AMF colonization of native and archeophyte plant species to the invasion of neophytes suggests that AMF are passengers, rather than drivers, in the course of Asteraceae invasions in central European environments.

“…Our research helps to strengthen our understanding of invasion ecology. However, the invasion of exotic species significantly affects soil microorganisms (Chen et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020). The composition and diversity of soil microorganisms, as well as the functional flora, are affected by plant root exudates and litter (Vogelsang and Bever, 2009;Shannon et al, 2014;Piper et al, 2015).…”

“…In our study, soil disturbed by exotic species had lower soil nutrient content and microbial activity. This phenomenon might cause a high degree of heterogeneity in the growth of replanted plants (Chen et al, 2020). The combination of low fertility and low enzyme activity creates a new environment in which species must adapt to survive.…”

Exotic species invasion represent important causes of harming the structure, function, and ecological environment in ecosystems. Yet, knowledge remains limited on the invasibility (invasion advantage of exotic species) and recoverability (recovery ability of native species) of a plant community following invasion depend on its successional stages. We selected three grasses of Setaria viridis, Artemisia gmelinii, and Bothriochloa ischemum representing early (E), middle (M), and late (L) successional species, respectively. Meanwhile, the grasses of Panicum virgatum was selected to represent exotic species (invasion species). Three types of soil were collected to treat the three E, M, and L successional species, and one type of soil was collected to treat the exotic species. We compared the performance of the three native plant species and one exotic species grown in their "own" and "other" soils in a 2-year greenhouse experiment. Our study showed that exotic species performed better in soils of E and M successional species than in the soil of L successional species. After exotic species removed, E and M successional species exhibited poor growth in the soil of exotic species, while that of L successional species performed poor in field exotic species soils, but performed better in soils disturbed by exotic species. Our study demonstrated that the invasibility and recoverability of native plant communities changed with vegetation succession.

Background: Exotic species invasions represent important causes of biodiversity loss in ecosystems. Yet, knowledge remains limited on the invasion advantage of exotic species (invasibility of native plants) and the ability of native species to recover following invasions at different stages of succession.Results: We selected three grasses (Setaria viridis, Artemisia gmelinii, and Bothriochloa ischaemum) representing early, middle, and late successional species, respectively, and an exotic species (Panicum virgatum) from a stable grassland community. Four types of field soil were collected to treat the three early, middle, and later successional species, plus the exotic species. We examined the invasion ability of the exotic species on native communities and the recoverability of these communities following invasion across succession. We compared the performance of the four plant species grown in their “own” and “other” soils in a 2-year glasshouse experiment. Here we show that exotic species performed better in soils of early and mid-successional species, owing to higher soil nutrients and microbial residues, than in the soil of later successional species. In the soil of exotic species, early and mid-successional species exhibited poor growth, while that of later successional species was unchanged.Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that soil nutrients and microbial residues create a soil legacy regulating the invasibility and recoverability (or resilience) of native plant communities and how it changed with vegetation succession.
