“…This yielded 18 studies, which along with the studies from Crawford et al. ( 8 ) generated a total of 50 papers from which we extracted information ( 24 , 26 , 28 , 38 , 43 , 46 – 90 ). If a study had multiple experiments across different soil sources, resource gradients, or competition intensities, we compiled data separately for each experiment.…”

Significance Understanding the processes that maintain plant diversity is a key goal in ecology. Many previous studies have shown that soil microbes can generate stabilizing or destabilizing feedback loops that drive either plant species coexistence or monodominance. However, theory shows that microbial controls over plant coexistence also arise through microbially mediated competitive imbalances, which have been largely neglected. Using data from 50 studies, we found that soil microbes affect plant dynamics primarily by generating competitive fitness differences rather than stabilizing or destabilizing feedbacks. Consequently, in the absence of other competitive asymmetries among plants, soil microbes are predicted to drive species exclusion more than coexistence. These results underscore the need for measuring competitive fitness differences when evaluating microbial controls over plant coexistence.

“…Furthermore, the autotoxic effect was found to be alleviated by some soil microorganisms in some native species [ 38 ]. Moreover, some invasive species including A. adenophora is reported to accumulate some beneficial bacterium and fungi around its roots (Chen et al, 2109; [ 34 , 39 , 40 ]. Taken together, we can speculate that the invasive crofton weed can accumulate a bacterium, B .…”

“…To treat the presence of soil microbes, the substrate in the containers was inoculated with non-autoclaved soil at a ratio of 1:20 ( v : v ) [ 32 ], whereas in absence of soil microbes, the substrate was inoculated with the same volume of autoclaved soil [ 33 ].…”

Soil microbes play an important role in plant invasion, and parasitic plants regulate the growth of invasive plants. However, the mechanisms by which parasitic plants regulate the effects of soil microbes on invasive plants have not been investigated. Here, we used the invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides and the holoparasitic plant Cuscuta grovonii to test whether and how C. grovonii parasitism shifts the effect of native soil microbes on the growth of A. philoxeroides. In a factorial setup, A. philoxeroides was grown in pots with the presence versus absence of parasitism and the presence versus absence of native soil microbes. The findings showed that native soil microbes increased the biomass and clonal growth of A. philoxeroides only in the absence of a parasite, whereas parasitism decreased the biomass and clonal growth of A. philoxeroides only in the presence of soil microbes. In addition, the presence of soil microbes increased the deleterious effects of the parasite on A. philoxeroides. These results indicate that parasitism can shift the effects of native soil microbes on the growth of the invasive plant A. philoxeroides. Our results enrich the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the success of plant invasion.
