• Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, background): “Sterilization experiments show that this change in soil biota directly inhibits local plant species (Niu et al. 2007).”
• An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “Ageratina adenophora was found to inhibit native species by altering soil microbial communities (Niu et al. 2007), while Solidago canadensis and M. micrantha can reduce the seed germination of native plants by allelopathic effects (Yang et al. 2007, Wu et al. 2008).”
• Response of soil microbial community dynamics to Robinia pseudoacacia L. afforestation in the loess plateau: a chronosequence approach (2018, result): “The soil bacterial community composition changes lagged behind those of the vegetation community, consistent with the results presented by Niu et al. (2007), who reported that invasive aster altered the soil microbial communities in a forest ecosystem.”
• Exotic invasive plant accumulates native soil pathogens which inhibit native plants (2007, background): “Ageratina adenophora (also in the Asteraceae) is a highly aggressive invader in parts of Asia and generates feedback effects in its soils that are inhibitory to other native species, but much less so to itself (Niu et al. 2007).”
• Plant–soil feedback induces shifts in biomass allocation in the invasive plant Chromolaena odorata (2009, background): “ALP has been found for Chromolaena odorata and Ageratina adenophora in Asia (Niu et al. 2007; Mangla, Inderjit & Callaway 2008).”
• Effect of invasive Acacia dealbata Link on soil microorganisms as determined by PCR-DGGE. (2010, unknown): “Soil for microbial analysis was air-dried for one week at room temperature, sieved (1 mm mesh) and frozen at 20 8C until analysis (Hawkes et al., 2005; Niu et al., 2007).”
