      abstract = {This book highlights processes, impacts and management  practices of bamboo expansion occurring in areas where it  is distributed around the world. Although not conceptually  plant invasions, bamboo expansion has been considered an  invasion based on its characteristics and the impacts it  caused on adjacent ecosystems it expanded into, including  altered element cycling, transformed soil microbial  community compositions, decreased biodiversity, fluctuated  primary productions, etc. However, the processes and  impacts during or after complete expansion and the  underlying mechanisms of successful expansion, are still  unclear. The ecological effects of bamboo expansion are not  given full consideration and are not thoroughly understood.  Based on the latest studies, this book synthesizes research  progress of bamboo expansion effects on the soil abiotic  environment, soil microbial community compositions, plant  characteristics, ecosystem biodiversity, element cycling  process, and ecological effects of primary management  practice, etc. This book will provide a thorough  understanding of ecological changes following bamboo  expansions, benefit the effective control of expanding  bamboo with respect to decreased biodiversity and  mitigation of global change, and accurate prediction and  evaluation of bamboo expansion impacts currently and in the  future occur around the world. This book presents critical  points that need further investigation based on the latest  findings, which will be helpful for ecological researchers,  policymakers, forestry workers, or graduate and PhD  students. .},
