Exotic plants may experience genetic changes in traits related to resource use, abiotic stress tolerance, and biotic interactions in response to such novel biotic and abiotic environments. Methods: We conducted a pot experiment in the native range to investigate how soil fertility, soil salinity and soil sterilization together determine the performances of native (China) and invasive (US) populations of the tree Triadica sebifera. Results: Salinity decreased plant growth, and increased AMF colonization and root:shoot. Fertilization or an unsterilized soil biota reduced the negative effects of salinity on plant survival. Fertilization decreased AMFcolonization and root:shoot ratio. Biomass was positively related to AMF colonization in unfertilized soils only. Seedlings from invasive populations grew faster and had higher AMF colonization. Conclusions: Our results suggest that this invasive plant is able to persist in more saline environments when soil fertility is high or suitable AMF is present. The importance of the soil biota appears to be greater on low fertility soils where AMF provides significant benefits. The greater AMF association of plants from invasive populations suggests that resources, abiotic stress, and biotic interactions all may play a role in successful plant invasions.
