Release from Above- and Belowground Insect Herbivory Mediates Invasion Dynamics and Impact of an Exotic Plant

Abstract: The enemy-release hypothesis is one of the most popular but also most discussed hypotheses to explain invasion success. However, there is a lack of explicit, experimental tests of predictions of the enemy-release hypothesis (ERH), particularly regarding the effects of above- and belowground herbivory. Long-term studies investigating the relative effect of herbivores on invasive vs. native plant species within a community are still lacking. Here, we report on a long-term field experiment in an old-field communi… Show more

“…Given that invasive plants frequently respond more positively to nutrient enrichment than native plants (Liu et al 2017;Liu et al 2018), the higher nutrient availability caused by soil fauna may increase the invasion success. On the other hand, soil fauna can also change alien-native competition via herbivory effects (Bonkowski et al 2009;Korell et al 2019). The enemy-release hypothesis poses that alien plants are released from most of their native enemies (Keane and Crawley 2002, Mitchell and Power 2003, Vilà et al 2005, Liu and Stiling 2006.…”

“…Following this logic, alien plants would be damaged less than natives by herbivorous soil fauna, and therefore soil fauna would promote alien plant invasion. However, until now very few studies have tested how soil fauna affects alien plant invasion into resident communities (Bonkowski et al 2009; Korell et al 2019).…”
