Invasive plant suppresses the growth of native tree seedlings by disrupting belowground mutualisms.

The impact of exotic species on native organisms is widely acknowledged, but poorly understood. Very few studies have empirically investigated how invading plants may alter delicate ecological interactions among resident species in the invaded range. We present novel evidence that antifungal phytoch...
