Two species of the genus Fallopia (F. sachalinensis, F. japonica, Polygonaceae) native to Asia, and their hybrid (F. × bohemica), belong to the most noxious plant invaders in Europe. They impact highly on invaded plant communities, resulting in extremely

Distribution and management of Fallopia japonica in riparian biotopes in Slovakia and Austria
Globally, invasive species represent a serious threat to biodiversity and to the ecosystem. As an undesirable part of riparian ecosystems, invasive plants form continuous growths on the banks of watercourses.

The Prediction of Distribution of the Invasive Fallopia Taxa in Slovakia
Invasive species are now considered the second biggest threat for biodiversity and have adverse environmental, economic and social impacts. Understanding its spatial distribution and dynamics is crucial for the development of tools for large-scale ...

Invasion by Fallopia japonica increases topsoil mineral nutrient concentrations
ABSTRACT Fallopia japonica is one of the most troublesome alien invasive plants across temperate regions, with large negative impacts on plant species diversity. We examined its impacts on topsoil chemistry and nutrient stocks in standing biomass at 6 sites with contrasting resident plant communities in Belgium.

The spread of the invasive species Reynoutria japonica Houtt. will both expand and contract with climate change: results of climate modelling for 14 European countries. [PDF]
Technical scheme of the study. We conducted modelling (Maxent) and predicted changes in the range of Reynoutria japonica in Europe in response to climate change. This provided a theoretical foundation for the risk assessment and effective management of plant invasions.

Invasiveness does not predict impact: response of native land snail communities to plant invasions in riparian habitats. [PDF]
Studies of plant invasions rarely address impacts on molluscs. By comparing pairs of invaded and corresponding uninvaded plots in 96 sites in floodplain forests, we examined effects of four invasive alien plants (Impatiens glandulifera, Fallopia japonica,

Riparian zones in two rivers in southern Poland were studied in terms of species composition and soil parameters in patches dominated by three knotweed taxa (Fallopia japonica, F. sachalinensis and the hybrid F. ×bohemica). The main purpose was to detect

Low genetic variation of invasive Fallopia spp. in their northernmost European distribution range
Knowledge about the reproduction strategies of invasive species is fundamental for effective control. The invasive Fallopia taxa (Japanese knotweed s.l.) reproduce mainly clonally in Europe, and preventing spread of vegetative fragments is the most ...
