AimsRecently, much attention has been paid to the plant-mediated effects of aboveground herbivory on soil ecosystems. However, studies about the herbivore-induced effects of invasive plants on soil ecosystem are still lacking. In this study, we aimed to examine the soil biota and nutrient availability to an invasive plant under aboveground herbivory stress, and compare the soil responses with a native plant.MethodsWe subjected an invasive plant (Spartina alterniflora) and a native plant (Phragmites australis) to herbivory by caterpillars of native mothLaelia coenosa, and measured soil microbes, nematodes, inorganic nitrogen (N), plant biomass and N content.ResultsSoil microbial biomass, nematode abundance, ammonium N concentrations and N mineralization rates were significantly stimulated by herbivory of the invasiveS. alterniflora. Besides, the stimulation of bacteria: fungi ratio, abundance of bacterivorous nematodes, and ammonium N availability were significantly higher forS. alterniflorathan forP. australis.ConclusionsIn general, aboveground insect herbivory of the invasiveS. alternifloraenhanced the abundance of soil biota, and the soil N availability. The greater soil responses associated withS. alterniflorasuggest stronger positive soil feedback than those with the nativeP. australis, which might facilitate the invasive plant to successfully invade its new range under biotic stress.
