    Soil-microorganism-mediated invasional meltdown in plants

    While most alien species fail to establish, some invade native communities and become widespread. Our understanding of invasion success is derived mainly from pairwise interactions between aliens and natives, ...

    Environmental Drivers of Microbial Functioning in Mediterranean Forest Soils

    Mediterranean forests own distinct characteristics resulting from climate, soil, and vegetation that affect soil microbial communities’ assembly and their associated functions. We initiated a multi-scalar anal...

    Responses of Rhizospheric Microbial Communities of Native and Alien Plant Species to Cuscuta Parasitism

    Parasitic plants have major impacts on host fitness. In the case of species of the holoparasitic Cuscuta genus, these impacts were shown to be particularly strong in some invasive alien plants, which has raised i...

    Salinity-induced changes in the rhizosphere microbiome improve salt tolerance of Hibiscus hamabo

    We aimed to assess whether soil salinity changes the microbial community in the rhizosphere of Hibiscus hamabo, and whether these changes in the microbiome feedback on the growth of H. hamabo.
