  abstract = {{T}he objectives of this study were to determine the impact of two exotic tree species (pine and eucalypts) on the early growth of {U}apaca bojeri (an endemic tree species from {M}adagascar) via their influence on soil chemical, microbial characteristics, on ectomycorrhizal fungal community structures in a {M}adagascarian highland forest and to test the ability of an early-successional ectomycorrhizal shrub, {L}eptolena bojeriana, to mitigate the impacts of these exotic species. {F}inally, we hypothesized that {L}. bojeriana could act as a natural provider for ectomycorrhizal propagules. {S}oil bioassays were conducted with {U}. bojeri seedlings grown in soils collected under the native tree species ({U}. bojeri and {L}. bojeriana) and two exotic tree species ({E}ucalyptus camaldulensis and {P}inus patula) and in the same soils but previously cultured by {L}. bojeriana seedlings. {T}his study clearly shows that (1) the introduction of exotic tree species induces significant changes in soil biotic and abiotic characteristics, (2) exotic-invaded soil significantly reduces the early growth and ectomycorrhization of {U}. bojeri seedlings and (3) {L}. bojeriana decreased these negative effects of the exotic tree species by facilitating ectomycorrhizal establishment and consequently improved the {U}. bojeri early growth. {T}his study provides evidence that {L}. bojeriana can facilitate the ectomycorrhizal infection of {U}. bojeri and mitigates the negative effects of the introduction of exotic tree species on the early growth of the native tree species. {F}rom a practical point of view, the use of ectotrophic early-successional shrub species should be considered to improve forest resaturation after exotic invasion.},
