Abstract  

Introduction and invasion of exotic plants are important global issues.Exotic plants can not only change the input and output of nitrogen,but also affect the nitrogen flows within terrestrial ecosystem through altering absorption and reuse of nitrogen,litter quality,soil microcosm and soil biota.Based on terrestrial nitrogen cycling framework,we reviewed the pathways and consequences that exotic plants affect terrestrial nitrogen cycling.Complexity of mechanisms,interaction of different nutrient cycling,and advanced technology should be considered in future research.
