{"title":"Responses of naturalized alien plants to soil heterogeneity and competition vary with the global naturalization success of the native competitors","authors":"Guan-Wen Wei, Mark van Kleunen","doi":"10.1111/1365-2745.70041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.70041","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;h2&gt;1 INTRODUCTION&lt;/h2&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Together with the increasing movement of humans, culture and goods, more and more species have been introduced across geographical barriers into novel regions, leading to floristic homogenization (Kinlock et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Yang et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). A subset of these so-called alien species has formed self-sustaining populations in nature (i.e. are naturalized alien species), and the naturalized species that spread rapidly and frequently have negative impacts on the environment are considered invasive (Blackburn et al., &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; Richardson et al., &lt;span&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;). Naturalization, however, is a central stage of the invasion process, and it is of high importance to study and understand the mechanisms underlying the invasion (i.e. establishment) of naturalized alien species into local communities (Richardson &amp; Pyšek, &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Worldwide, at least 13,000 plant species have become naturalized due to human activities during the past centuries, and the pace of biological invasions does not seem to slow down in the foreseeable future (Seebens et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Seebens et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; van Kleunen et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). Thus, how introduced alien plants interact with the local plant species remains one of the key questions in ecology. Answering this question will be necessary in order to reduce biological invasions and maintain native biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems under global change (IPBES, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Valladares et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Competition between alien and native plants is commonly thought to play an important role in the invasion process (Gioria &amp; Osborne, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Kuebbing &amp; Nuñez, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). A large number of studies have tested whether aliens are more competitive than natives in different aspects, yet no agreement has been reached (Kuebbing &amp; Nuñez, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; Vilà &amp; Weiner, &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;; Zhang &amp; van Kleunen, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). So, key questions are what determines the competitiveness of alien species, and are they really different from native species. With regard to the latter, it is important to consider that a species that is native to a region may at the same time be a naturalized alien in other regions (van Kleunen et al., &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;). So, when comparing alien to native species, it might be important to consider how successful the native species are as naturalized aliens in other parts of the world.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Similarly, not all naturalized alien species are equally competitive and successful. Some occur in relatively few regions or are relatively rare within their non-native range. So, both among the natives and aliens in a region, we have successful and less successful species both at the regional scale and at the global scale. Frequently, species that are widespread globally grow faster than less widely distributed species (Dawson et al., &lt;span&gt;","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Intraspecific variation in plant–soil feedback depends on plant dominance while interspecific variation is unrelated to plant community structure","authors":"Jonathan A. Bennett, Stephen O. Awodele, Luke Bainard, Julien Tremblay","doi":"10.1111/1365-2745.70034","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.70034","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;h2&gt;1 INTRODUCTION&lt;/h2&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Most plants interact with soil microbes, with interaction outcomes ranging from mutualism to antagonism (Bever et al., &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;). These interactions not only affect the growth of that plant but can also cause shifts in the soil microbiome that persist and affect the recruitment of new individuals into those soils (Bever et al., &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;). These plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) can thus increase or decrease population growth rates and alter the structure of plant communities (Bennett et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Teste et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;). In low-diversity agricultural systems, accumulation of crop diseases can cause negative PSF and significant crop losses (Mariotte et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). Increasing plant diversity can dilute species-specific pathogens, and thus overall pathogen densities, and increase the diversity and abundance of beneficial microbes (Bennett et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Consequently, diversification of agroecosystems should reduce negative PSF and increase positive PSF.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Plant–soil feedback is commonly measured as the effect that plants of a particular species have on conspecific recruitment via changes in the soil; however, in diverse systems, many plant species may condition the soil and respond to these changes (Baxendale et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Kulmatiski, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). This concept is partially reflected in the measurement of PSF as a pairwise interaction between species (Crawford et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;), yet pairwise PSF is often a poor indicator of plant-community dynamics (Reinhart et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). This lack of prediction may be because plant neighbourhoods influence microbiome assembly (Mommer et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;) or because root systems are intermingled within soils (Frank et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;) meaning that soils are simultaneously being conditioned by multiple species, even over small spatial scales. Consequently, soil conditioning is likely dependent on the community context. The variability in PSF is further increased by varying responses of plant species to changes in the microbiome (Baxendale et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;), thus limiting our ability to understand the dynamics of diverse plant communities from traditional PSF approaches.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;The role of PSF in plant communities may be better considered by integrating the effect and response of multiple species. Averaged across species, the mean effects of soil biota would thus be an estimate of the soil quality and its effect on plant growth. Variability among species may also be important and could have implications for the structure and functioning of ecosystems: An increase in PSF variability could either exacerbate or mitigate fitness inequalities among community members, whereas a reduction in variability suggests that PSF will have limited effects on community dynamics as all plants are affected equally. From a functional perspective, reduced variability coupled with posi","PeriodicalId":191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143767130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, rainforests face major threats due to their rapid replacement with cash crop plantations such as oil palm and rubber (Rembold et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Zemp et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). For example, the ongoing agricultural expansion has resulted in ~21 million hectares of oil palm plantations globally (Descals et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Tedersoo et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). Overall, the taxonomic diversity of native species has decreased due to land-use changes (Ballauff et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Barnes et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Brinkmann et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Felipe-Lucia et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Newbold et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;). However, to better understand the multiple impacts of agricultural expansion on tropical ecosystems, we urgently need to strengthen our knowledge of the impacts of land-use conversion on species interactions (Brinkmann et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Felipe-Lucia et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Newbold et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; Romdhane et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000&lt;p&gt;Plant–fungal associations play a fundamental role in shaping the structure and functioning of tropical ecosystems (Põlme et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Tedersoo et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;), providing insights into the resilience, adaptive capacity and health of forest ecosystems (Trivedi et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Root–microbial interactions involving different kingdoms and functional guilds (Brunel et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Ferlian et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; McLaren &amp; Callahan, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Trivedi et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Vorburger &amp; Perlman, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;) have been linked to mutualistic preferences, evolutionary and trait differences among hosts, and phylogenetic relatedness and competitive exclusion between fungi (Alzarhani et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Francioli et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). For example, the abundance and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been found to respond to changes in plant diversity and composition (Deyn et al., &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; Gui et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;), with host–AMF preferences likely modulated by plant functional groups, instead of reflecting individual species interactions (Edy et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Francioli et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Zanne et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Moreover, an increase in the abundance of AMF in the rhizosphere is expected to promote a decrease in pathogen abundance (Francioli et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Sweeney et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Zanne et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;) and to be positively correlated with the abundance of saprotrophic fungi (Francioli et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; van der Heijden &amp; Hartmann, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;).
