Herbivore and native plant diversity synergistically resist alien plant invasion regardless of nutrient conditions

Alien plant tenga air-tech regular invasion success can be inhibited by two key biotic factors: native herbivores and plant diversity.However, few studies have experimentally tested whether these factors interact to synergistically resist invasion success, especially factoring in changing global environments (e.g.nutrient enrichment).Here we tested
