DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04435-8
Abstract: Invasive plants may outcompete and replace native plant species through a variety of mechanisms. Recent evidence indicates that soil microbial pathways such as pathogen accumulation may have a considerable role in facilitating competition between native… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02227-3
Abstract: Non-native plant invasions are often catalyzed by wildfires and may alter the structure, function, and composition of ecosystems. Of particular concern are non-native annual grasses that promote increased fire frequency and compete with native vegetation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02602-8
Abstract: The factors that determine patterns of non-native species richness and abundance are context dependent in both time and space. Global change has significantly boosted plant invasions in mountains, therefore, understanding which factors determine the invasion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-0128-6
Abstract: Coal mining-related activities result in a degraded landscape and sites associated with large amounts of dumped waste material. The arid soil resulting from acid mine drainage affects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and thus, site remediation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127860
Abstract: Organic matter (OM) amendments and plant colonization can accelerate mineral weathering and soil formation in metal mine tailings for ecological rehabilitation. However, the weathering effects may dissolve uranium (U)-bearing minerals (e.g., ianthinite) and increase U… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14196
Abstract: Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are, among others, largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance that predate historical documentation and censuses are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16290
Abstract: Approximately 17% of the land worldwide is considered highly vulnerable to non‐native plant invasion, which can dramatically alter nutrient cycles and influence greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in terrestrial and wetland ecosystems. However, a systematic investigation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.13040
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that form a fundamental part of soil biocrusts, enhance soil function and structure, and can promote plant growth. We assessed the potential of cyanobacteria as a seed bio‐primer for mine‐site restoration… read more here.
