Abstract
Plants that grow beyond their native geographical range are known as exotic plants. They are introduced into forests either intentionally or unintentionally.These plants have impact on the natural or native plants. Their impact is either positive or negative.The exotic plant species affect the plant diversity as well as the features of the soil in a forest as it changed the microbial activity in a forest. The plant diversity, evenness and richness are also affected by the exotic species. Forest disturbances, provoke the invasion of exotic species.Most of the exotic plant species become invasive and spread very quickly in that particular area. These plant species disturb the whole native vegetation of a forest. To control the prevalence of exotic species is not an easy task as these become invasive with the passage of time.This study reviews the ecological dynamics of exotic plant species in response to forest disturbances, emphasizing mechanisms of invasion and establishment. Understanding these responses is crucial for biodiversity and control and management of these species.
