Emma L. Aronson, Mia R. Maltz, Brooke Pickett

publication:

Book Chapter: in Invasive Plants

Year:

2018

month:

12 - December

description:

Biological plant invasions impact the function and biodiversity of ecosystems across the globe by displacing native plant species and altering the physical and chemical soil environment. While much is known about direct competition between invasive and native plants, ecologists have just begun to uncover the less obvious impact of plant invasion: changes to the soil fungal community. Fungi are important to the survival of many plant species and an integral part of a healthy soil system.
