“…tended to have the greatest organic soil matter, N, and P than those of the soil under A. altissima (Medina-Villar et al, 2015). Alnus subcordata and Populus deltoids in Northern Iran also improved the soil fertility (greater P, K, Ca, and Mg availability) and biological activities attributed to rapid nutrient cycling in young secondary forests (Kooch et al, 2016).…”

“…During their development, forest species can alter soil chemical attributes such as pH and nutrient content. The literature contains results confirming that tree species have different effects on litter (production and quality) as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of topsoil (Firn et al, 2007;Medina-Villar et al, 2015;Kooch et al, 2016;Russell et al, 2018)Nutrient absorption in the deeper layers returns to the soil surface (through litterfall) can help explain the changes in topsoil fertility between forest species (Márquez et al, 1993).…”

“…The invasive trees, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and R. pseudoacacia produced more litter than the native trees, thus indicating that invasive species can alter soil properties and litter dynamics (Medina-Villar et al, 2015). A. longifolia, a nitrogen fixing invasive tree accumulated litter inputs, thereby increasing the soil nitrogen content and hastened litter decomposition in invaded than in native ranges.…”

Abstract. It is known that plant invasions are of major concern as they result in loss of biodiversity and alterations in ecosystem processes and functions. Although numerous mechanisms have been postulated to find out the reasons behind plant invasiveness, the actual and precise mechanism is still obscure. Soil microbes are considered as one of the important determinants of plant growth and establishment. Plant invasion leads to changes in the composition and structure of soil microorganisms. Most of the earlier studies have focused on the aboveground mechanisms of plant invasion. Recently the belowground mechanisms for plant invasion are being investigated. In this review, we focus on the various hypotheses related to soil microbes in either enhancing or suppressing plant invasions. The interactions between soil microbes with native and non-native plant species, the role of the plant-soil feedback system in the invasion and its impact, the function of mycorrhizal and bacterial symbiosis in plant species invasion and the role of soil biota and changes brought about in soil nutrient cycling and soil enzymes due to plant invasion are also discussed.

“…Spinoni et al, 2017;de Rigo et al, 2018). While most alien tree species have not spread outside of plantation sites and are therefore currently not considered invasive, a significant number of alien tree species are widely considered to be invasive, such as the Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) or the Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) (Medina-Villar et al, 2015;Vítková et al, 2017).…”
