Table S1 Results of a mixed-effects ANOVA showing the effects of sterilisation, soil origin (from habitats with and without congenerics) and their interaction on shoot (A) and root (B) biomass of exotics in the first experimental phase. The factor “Site” was nested in “Soil origin” in the analysis. Results are given separately for each exotic species and for all species together. In this case, the additional random term “Species” refers to the identity of exotic species. Significant effects are in bold (P<0.05) and marginally significant effects are in italics (P<0.10)

Table S2 Results of a mixed-effects ANOVA showing the effects of sterilisation, conditioning species, soil origin (from habitats with and without congenerics) and their interactions on shoot (A) and root (B) biomass of exotics in the second experimental phase. The factor “Site” was nested in “Soil origin”. Results are given separately for each exotic species and for all species together. In this case, the additional random term “Target species” refers to the identity of exotic species and “ID” refers to the identity of conditioning species nested within one of three categories (conspecifics, congenerics and heterogenerics). Significant effects are in bold (P<0.05) and marginally significant effects are in italics (P<0.10)
