Plant–soil feedback induces shifts in biomass allocation in the invasive plant Chromolaena odorata (2009, background): “Also, invasive species may indirectly facilitate their own performance in the non-native range by accumulating soil organisms that are adverse to native plant species, a hypothesis known as accumulation of local pathogens (ALP) (Eppinga et al. 2006).”
Plant-soil feedbacks: a meta-analytical review. (2008, background): “Theoretical models have demonstrated that net-pairwise PSFs can be more important to plant growth than the direction or magnitude of individual PSFs (Bever 2003; Eppinga et al. 2006), but few studies have produced the data needed to calculate net-pairwise PSFs.”
Consequences of plant–soil feedbacks in invasion (2013, methodology): “…consistent with the novel weapons hypothesis (Callaway et al. 2008) that exotic species may produce allelopathic or antimicrobial root exudates, and the hypothesis of Eppinga et al. (2006) that exotic species can accumulate local pathogens but suffer less from those pathogens than native species.”
Plant-soil biota interactions of an invasive species in its native and introduced ranges: implications for invasion success. (2013, background): “Also, some invasive species can indirectly enhance their own performance in the non-native range by accumulating soil organisms that are adverse to native plant species, a hypothesis known as accumulation of local pathogens (ALP) (Eppinga et al., 2006).”
Invasion of Solidago gigantea in contrasting experimental plant communities: effects on soil microbes, nutrients and plant–soil feedbacks (2010, background): “This feedback will still favour the invader, however, if the native vegetation experiences stronger growth restraints (Eppinga et al. 2006; Mangla, Inderjit & Callaway 2008).”
Reduced plant–soil feedback of plant species expanding their range as compared to natives (2007, background): “To test for the effect of the species on each other through the soil community (Eppinga et al. 2006), plants were also grown in soil conditioned by the other species within the species pair.”
Reducing redundancy in invasion ecology by integrating hypotheses into a single theoretical framework (2009, background): “Accumulation of local pathogens/enemy of my enemy (Eppinga et al., 2006); Missed mutualisms (Alpert, 2006); Specialist–generalist (Callaway et al., 2004; Sax et al., 2007); New associations (Colautti et al., 2004).”
Invasive plants escape from suppressive soil biota at regional scales (2014, background): “Although some abundant exotic species can accumulate soil pathogens through time (Eppinga et al. 2006; Nijjer, Rogers & Siemann 2007; Diez et al. 2010), there appears to be a general inequality in the strength of plant–soil feedbacks between natives and exotics (Kulmatiski et al.”
Invading with biological weapons: the importance of disease‐mediated invasions (2012, background): “2004; Hatcher, Dick & Dunn 2006; Dunn 2009) and plant (Eppinga et al. 2006) invasions.”
Exotic invasive plant accumulates native soil pathogens which inhibit native plants (2007, result): “These results support an earlier general hypothesis based on theoretical modelling (Eppinga et al. 2006).”
Plant–soil feedbacks: the past, the present and future challenges (2013, background): “This phenomenon could be explained by accumulation of local pathogens to which the exotic species are less susceptible than natives (Eppinga et al. 2006).”
Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining (2012, methodology): “Where pathogenic fungi are being depressed or are well tolerated in invader plant roots but AM fungi are not similarly altered, it suggests that natives growing in an invaded patch may be susceptible to higher pathogen loads relative to natives that are unexposed, supporting the hypotheses of both E”
Identifying the role of soil microbes in plant invasions (2016, background): “The accumulation of pathogens hypothesis involves generalist pathogens that infect not only the invader but also competing native plants (Eppinga et al. 2006).”
Plant–soil feedbacks of exotic plant species across life forms: a meta-analysis (2014, unknown): “83 5 For example, because some exotics reduce symbiotic mutualists (Stinson et al. 2006), increase 84 local pathogens (Eppinga et al. 2006) or possibly accumulate allelochemicals (Callaway and 85 Ridenour 2004).”
