  abstract = {{I}nvasive alien plants such as {R}eynoutria spp. can drastically affect the composition of plant communities. {Y}et, whether and how these species also affect soil physicochemical properties and microbial functioning is still an unresolved question in the literature. {U}sing a space-for-time substitution approach comparing invaded to uninvaded adjacent plots, we estimated the impacts of {R}eynoutria on soil biochemistry across nine contrasted sites in {F}rance by measuring soil carbon content, nutrient availability and enzyme activities. {S}oil under {R}eynoutria displayed higher carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus contents but no differences were detected regarding enzyme activities between invaded and uninvaded sites. {M}oreover, the magnitude of {R}eynoutria's effects differed depending on local conditions, with greater effects when total carbon and phosphorus-related enzymes were relatively low. {T}hese data highlight that changes in soil nutrient availability might be primarily due to direct effects of {R}eynoutria on soil properties and microbial functioning. {H}igher impacts were observed in soils with low-nutrient status, suggesting a 'niche construction ability' of {R}eynoutria. {O}ur results underscore the necessity of considering the context-dependency of {R}eynoutria on soil biochemistry and highlight that the impact of alien species belowground functioning depends on initial soil conditions.},
