TL;DR: It is demonstrated that living root inputs are more efficiently anabolized by the soil microbial community en route to the mineral-associated SOC pool (dubbed 'the in vivo microbial turnover pathway'). Overall, the findings provide support for the primacy of livingRoot inputs in forming SOC.

TL;DR: There is a critical need to address research on how effects of multiple invaders differ from those of single invaders, what types of interactions are most commonly found between invaders, and what effects interactions might have on the overall impact of the individual invader.

TL;DR: The positive effects of AMF on soil aggregation, water flow and disease resistance are equal to the effect ofAMF on plant nitrogen and phosphorus uptake, however, AMF had no effect on the uptake of other nutrients, plant water content, allelopathic transport or production of chemical defense compounds.

TL;DR: Though positive interactions were infrequent, managers may be able to anticipate positive interactions among nonnatives based upon traits of the co-occurring invaders, and Predicting positive nonnative interactions is an important tool for determining habitat susceptibility to a particular invasion and for prioritizing management ofnonnatives with a higher likelihood of positive interactions.

TL;DR: Projects aiming at controlling invasives through human consumption should be carefully examined, as they may produce results opposite to those proposed.
