Abstract Drought can affect the growth and soil enzyme activities of invasive alien plants (IAPs). It is imperative to evaluate competitive advantage IAPs compared with that native species enzymes under drought. This study aimed IAP Amaranthus spinosus originated from tropical America Chinese A. tricolor A co-culture was established using a planting basin experiment. The two were treated different levels drought, i.e. (i) control; (ii) light level drought (iii) heavy functional traits,...
Co-invasion by two invasive plant species (IPS) can occur in the same habitat. Diversified acid deposition may change co-invasion process altering litter decomposition and plant-soil feedback signalling. This study examined co-decomposition of Asteraceae IPS (Solidago canadensis L. Bidens pilosa L.) on rate, soil enzyme activities, N-fixing bacterial communities under diversified (mixed at pH 5.6 4.5, sulfuric nitric 4.5). B. degraded faster than S. litter. Acid higher acidity accelerated...
One of the main factors in successful invasion invasive plants is their allelopathy on growth performance (especially seed germination and seedling growth) neighboring plants. Salt stress, mainly mediated by soil salinization, may affect or even facilitate process via allelopathy. The aim this study was to evaluate effect four Asteraceae plants, including Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.), horseweed (Conyza (L.) Cronq.), rallway beggaricks (Bidens pilosa daisy fleabane (Erigeron...
The allelopathy of alien plants is critical to their successful invasion. In nature, two can co-invade the same habitat. Changes in forms nitrogen may have potential alter invasion process by causing alterations allelopathy. This study aimed evaluate individual and combined from Asteraceae family, Solidago canadensis L. Conyza (L.) Cronq. examined effects aqueous leaf extracts with different (NO3−N, NH4−N, CO(NH2)2−N, mixed at a 1:1:1 ratio) on seed germination seedling growth horticultural...
Abstract Compositae family comprises the largest number of species invasive alien plants (IAPs) in China. Two IAPs can co-invade same habitat. Drought alter litter decomposition and soil enzyme activities. This study aims to estimate independent combined effects two composite (Bidens pilosa Solidago canadensis) on activities under drought. A polyethylene litterbags experiment (5 g litters B. pilosa, 5 S. canadensis or an equal proportion per litterbag) was performed. The were treated with a...
Invasive and native plants can coexist in the same habitat; however, decomposition process may be altered by mixing of invasive leaves. Heavy metal contamination further alter co-decomposition both leaf types. This study evaluated effects two concentrations (35 mg·L-1 70 mg·L-1) three types (Pb, Cu, combined Pb + Cu) heavy on leaves tree Rhus typhina L. Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm, as well mixed effect intensity A polyethylene litterbag experiment was performed over six months. The...
This study aimed to estimate the allelopathic intensity of four Asteraceae invasive plant species (IPS), including Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq., Erigeron annuus Pers., Bidens pilosa (L.), and Aster subulatus Michx., by testing effect leaf extracts on seed germination seedling growth (SGe SGr) lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in combination with two particle sizes silver nanoparticles. These IPS decreased seeds but increased seedlings. The following order: B. > C. E. A. subulatus. Silver...

Abstract The phytotoxicity of exotic invasive plants (EIP) is vital for their successful invasion. At the family level, Asteraceae contains largest number EIP species in China. Drought stress may affect by altering production and secretion allelochemicals. Therefore, it important to estimate multiple under drought stress. In this study, five EIP, i.e., Solidago canadensis L., Aster subulatus Michx., Bidens pilosa Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers., Conyza Cronq., were estimated using leaf extracts....
