Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Biocontrol of Calluna vulgaris is associated with limited soil and vegetation change. • Herbivory severity is associated with variation in soil pH and available Fe. • Soil bacterial communities are structured by edaphic factors rather than herbivory. • Alien plant cover was associated with herbivory rather than with soil properties. • Biocontrol shows minimal indirect impacts in the Central Plateau ecosystem.
