This study aimed to ascertain if the invasive species\n                    <jats:italic>Alternanthera philoxeroides<\/jats:italic>\n                    impacts plant diversity, plant composition, and soil microbes or not. The soil microbial activity (CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    release) and soil pH were also recorded. The plant communities invaded and uninvaded with\n                    <jats:italic>Alternanthera philoxeroides<\/jats:italic>\n                    were examined using the quadrat method. Soil samples were collected from 0 to 10\u2009cm depth, and the culture method was used for soil microbial analysis. The plant species richness and soil fungi were found to be reduced at\n                    <jats:italic>A. philoxeroides<\/jats:italic>\n                    invaded plots than at uninvaded plots.
