Relative allelopathic potential of invasive plant species in a young disturbed woodland

The relative importance of immediate allelopathy and allelopathic legacy in invasive plant species

Some introduced invasive species may be competitively superior to natives because they release allelochemicals, which egatively affect native species. Allelochemicals can be immediately effective after being released but can also persist in soils, esulting in a legacy effect. However, to our knowledge there are no studies which distinguish between allelopathic legacy and mmediate allelopathy of...

Allelopathic Potential of Invasive Plantago virginica on Four Lawn Species

Plantago virginica L. has invaded many lawn ecosystems in the Eastern part of China. The invasion has incurred an economic cost to remove them. In order to prevent the invasion, it is critical to understand the invasive mechanisms of this species. However, few studies have been conducted on the allelopathic mechanisms of its invasion. In this study, we examined allelopathic effects of P. virgin...

Ecological niche modeling of invasive alien plant species in a protected landscape

Non-native plants that can cause adverse effects are otherwise known as invasive alien plant species which pose a major threat to plant biodiversity conservation and sustainability. This study is dedicated to determine the plant diversity and to assess the vulnerability of Quezon Protected Landscape, Southern Luzon, the Philippines to invasive alien plant species. Data from 90 10x10 m randomly ...

Allelopathic Potential of Various Plant Species on Downy Brome: Implications for Weed Control in Wheat Production

Allelopathy, the ability of plants to inhibit germination of other plants, is an untapped resource for weed control in crops that could revolutionize organic crop production. The main objective of the study was to evaluate allelopathic potential of various plant species on downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), a major pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To screen for potential allelopathy, plants...
