“…It enables the specific pairing with the AMF species and the target environment. Overall, IAPS changes the compartments into the soil ecosystem by: (1) increasing soil organic matter dynamics (e.g., litter deposition, labile carbon, and SOC) [33]; (2) increasing the soil microbial activity when compared with the noninvaded habitat through functional redundancy process or in other words the “AMF‐host pairing specificity” [10]; (3) increasing nutrient content, thus benefiting plant nutrition, and some microorganisms adapted to fertile soils [34]; (4) by creating positive AMF‐soil‐plant feedback which promotes an adapted cycle for the invader's benefit [35].…”

Invasive alien plant species (IAPS) have the ability to change the biochemical properties and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community structure in their rhizosphere. Organic acids, microbial activity, and AMF play a key role in the invader's spread and also has interactions with the soil chemical factors. Our aim here was to assess the rhizosphere's biochemical factors, AMF community composition, and soil chemical properties associated with Cryptostegia madagascariensis (IAPS) and Mimosa tenuiflora (endemic plant species) from the Brazilian Seasonal Dry Forest. The highest values of total glomalin (5.87 mg g−1 soil), root colonization (54.5%), oxalic and malic acids (84.21 and 3.01 μmol g−1, respectively), microbial biomass C (mg kg−1), Na+ (0.080 cmolc kg−1), Ca2+ (7.04 cmolc kg−1), and soil organic carbon (4.59 g kg−1) were found in the rhizosphere of C. madagascariensis. We found dissimilarities on AMF community structure considering the studied plant species: (i) Racocetra coralloidea, Dentiscutata heterogama, Dentiscutata cerradensis, Gigaspora decipiens, and AMF's richness were highly correlated with the rhizosphere of M. tenuiflora; and (ii). The rhizosphere of C. madagascariensis was highly correlated with the abundance of Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Rhizoglomus aggregatum, Funneliformis mosseae, and Funneliformis geosporum. The results of our study highlight the importance of considering C. madagascariensis as potential hosts for AMF species from Glomerales, and a potential plant species that increase the bioavailability of exchangeable Na and Ca at semi‐arid conditions.

“…Like many other invasion hypotheses, the phenotypic plasticity hypothesis has mixed support (Davidson et al 2011, Palacio‐López and Gianoli 2011); however, Torchyk and Jeschke (2018) suggested a relatively high level of support for this hypothesis compared to others. Discrepancies may be due to the absence of consideration of relevant functional traits (Castillo et al 2021, Renault et al 2022, Wang et al 2022). Fewer studies have compared invasive and non‐invasive populations, and most of these investigations have focused on plants.…”

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an everchanging world. Despite major advances in invasion science, significant debate and lack of clarity remain surrounding the determinants of success of introduced species, the magnitude and dimensions of their impact, and the mechanisms sustaining successful invasions. Empirical studies show divergent impacts of alien populations on ecosystems and contrasting effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the dynamics of alien populations, which hinders the creation of a unified theory of biological invasions. Compounding these issues is the plethora of hypotheses that aim to explain invasion success, which can be unclear and contradictory. We propose a synthesis that categorizes hypotheses along a timeline of invasion. We sorted invasion hypotheses along the invasion timeline, and considered population, community and ecosystem levels. This temporal sorting of invasion concepts shows that each is relevant at a specific stage of

“…Phenotype and resource allocation strategies of invasive plants can influence their adaption to changing environments, which in turn affects their invasion and expansion in various ecosystems. Phenotypic plasticity is one key attribute allowing alien plants to inhabit different and changing environments (Hulme Philip, 2008; Sultan, 2004; Wang et al, 2022). Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) describes the process by which parent organisms influence the phenotypic expression of their offspring through nongenetic means.…”

“…TGP is a potential mechanism underlying the rapid spread of many exotic plants to diverse habitats (Helenurm & Schaal, 1996; Rasmann et al, 2012). Intergenerational plasticity often determines the rate and magnitude of the spread of invasive plants (Zhou et al, 2012), particularly for cosmopolitan invasive plants with wide ecological amplitude (Galloway, 2005; Sultan et al, 2009; Wang et al, 2022). Most previous studies on TGP in invasive plants have been conducted mainly on clonal species (Chen et al, 2019; Dong et al, 2017).…”

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) allows a plant to acclimate to external variable environments and is a potential mechanism that explains range‐expansion and invasion success of some exotic plants. Most studies explored the traits of TGP associated with success of exotic plants invasions by comparison studies among exotic, native, invasive, and non‐invasive species. However, studies on the TGP of invasive plants in different resource environments are scarce, and the biological mechanisms involved are not well understood. This study aimed to determine the role of TGP on the invasiveness of Xanthium strumarium in northeast China. We measured plant morphology of aboveground parts and the growth of three generations of the invader under different environmental conditions. The results showed that the intergenerational plasticity of X. strumarium was stronger under stress conditions. We found that the X. strumarium parent generation (F0) grown under water and/or nutrient deficiency conditions transferred the environmental information to their offspring (F1 and F2). The F1 generation grown under high‐resource conditions has greater height with larger crown sizes, thicker basal diameters, and higher biomass. Both water and nutrients can affect the intergenerational transmission of plant plasticity, nutrients play a more important role compared with water. The high morphological inter‐generational plasticity of X. strumarium under pressure environment can help it quickly adapt to the new environment and accelerate the rapid expansion of the population in the short term. The root: shoot ratio and reproductive and nutrient distribution of the X. strumarium F0 and F1 generations showed high stability when the growth environment of the F0 generation differed from that of the F1 generation. The stable resource allocation strategy can ensure that the obtained resources are evenly distributed to each organ to maintain the long‐term existence of the community. Therefore, the study of intergenerational transmission plasticity is of great significance for understanding the invasion process, mechanism and prevention of invasive plants.This article is protected by copyright.
