Alien plant 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 how the synergy betwee
