Exotic invasive species represent a major disturbance to the environment with significant *ramifications to the economy and society. The Canadian and Ontario governments have called for *research to better understand and predict impacts of invasive species. A major concern is their *long-term consequences to soil, plant and forest health and how to establish management *priorities. This research program will determine long-term effects of highly invasive plants on soil *microbial diversity and function. It will also investigate temporal patterns of plant-microbial *interactions in their capacity to cause declines in plant invasions and disease.

外来入侵物种是对环境的重大干扰，对经济和社会产生重大影响。加拿大和安大略省政府呼吁进行研究，以更好地了解和预测入侵物种的影响。一个主要问题是它们对土壤、植物和森林健康的长期影响，以及如何确定管理重点。该研究项目将确定高度入侵植物对土壤微生物多样性和功能的长期影响。它还将研究植物-微生物相互作用的时间模式，以了解它们导致植物入侵和疾病减少的能力。
