Ecological perturbations caused by biotic invasion have been identified as a growing threat
to global sustainability. Invasive alien plants species (IAPS) are considered to be one of the …

Allelopathy (ie, chemical interaction among species) was originally conceived as inclusive of
positive and negative effects of plants on other plants, and we adopt this view. Most studies …

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

Allelopathy is a common biological phenomenon by which one organism produces
biochemicals that influence the growth, survival, development, and reproduction of other …

Water contamination is an environmental burden for the next generations, calling for
advanced methods such as adsorption to remove pollutants. For instance, unwanted …

Despite the urgent demand for sustainable mining, the revegetation and rehabilitation of
areas degraded by mining activities remain challenging. Uncertainties about species …

Understanding how invasions by exotic plant species occur has been and still is a
fundamental goal in the field of invasion ecology. Recently, research focus has shifted to …

Allelopathy has shown both inhibitory and stimulatory roles in plant processes such as on
seed germination, overall growth, development, reproduction, disease/weed management …

Chromolaena odorata (L.) RM King & H. Robinson is native to tropical America, and has
naturalized in many other countries in tropical Asia, Austria, and West Africa. The species …

Alien plant invasions are a major component of global change, and can severely threaten
local floras and global biodiversity. A striking pattern of invasive floras is that many of the …
