    Mycorrhizal colonization and its relationship with plant performance differs between exotic and native grassland plant species

    Many grasslands have been transformed by exotic species with potentially novel ecological interactions. We hypothesized that exotic and native plant species differ, on average, in their percentage mycorrhizal ...

    Microbial community structure and functions differ between native and novel (exotic-dominated) grassland ecosystems in an 8-year experiment

    Grasslands dominated by non-native (exotic) species have replaced purely native-dominated areas in many parts of the world forming ‘novel’ ecosystems. Altered precipitation patterns are predicted to exacerbate...
