Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Allelopathy (ie chemical interactions between plants) is known to affect individual
performance, community structure and plant invasions. Yet, a quantitative synthesis is …

The novel-weapons and homeland-security hypotheses are based on the idea that aliens
and natives are not adapted to each other's allelochemicals as they did not co-evolve …

Invasive plant species often competitively displace native plant species but some
populations of native plant species can evolve adaptation to competition from invasive …

The allelopathy of invasive plants is crucial to their successful invasion. The co-invasion of
two invasive plants is common. Salt stress may affect the allelopathy of invasive plants …

Introduction Microplastic pollution has emerged as a significant global change factor, with
the potential to alter the biological, physicochemical properties of soil and to subsequently …

Background and aims Plant investment in secondary metabolites can be driven by abiotic
factors such as nitrogen (N) availability and variation in biotic factors such as root-associated …

Spartina alterniflora, a highly invasive plant, has caused a serious threat to ecosystem
biodiversity and economic development in coastal areas of many countries. In this study, the …

ABSTRACT A key scientific challenge relating to the threat of invasive plants on agriculture
at the region level is to understand their adaptation and evolution in functional traits. Leaf …

Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. is known to be one of the most invasive species worldwide. In
this study, laboratory and greenhouse experiments were carried out to investigate the …
