Japanese knotweed increases soil erosion on riverbanks

River Research and Applications, 2021
AbstractFor years, Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) has been suspected of accelerating riverbank erosion, despite a lack of convincing evidence. The stems of this invasive plant die back following the first autumn frosts, leaving the soil unprotected during winter and spring floods.

Invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica Houtt.) and related knotweeds as catalysts for streambank erosion

River Research and Applications, 2020
AbstractJapanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) and the other invasive knotweeds, collectively known as knotweed s.l., are significant invasives worldwide, especially of riparian areas. While R. japonica and other knotweed s.l. can reproduce sexually, their dispersal to and spread within new regions is often accomplished through vegetative reproduction

The impact of Japanese knotweed on stream baseflow

Ecohydrology, 2013
ABSTRACTThe impact of invasive plants on stream baseflow has mostly focused on water‐limited areas such as South Africa and the southwestern region of the United States. However, there is evidence suggesting that rivers in areas traditionally considered to be water‐rich (e.g.

Japanese knotweed, journalism and the general public

EPPO Bulletin, 2014
In the course of developing and delivering a management programme for Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) the team involved had extensive interactions with the general public and journalists, both print and broadcast. The programme was unique in that the communication goal was not only getting across the message that the plant is a pest that needs ...

Screen Printing with Natural Dye Extract from Japanese Knotweed Rhizome

Fibers and Polymers, 2021
Excessive overgrowth of an invasive alien plant like Japanese knotweed is an ecological problem that threatens the ecosystem and reduces biodiversity. However, it can be potentially used for various beneficial purposes, e.g. for the production of paper or natural dyes, as a renewable and sustainable resource.

Identifying and eradicating Japanese knotweed in the UK built environment

Structural Survey, 2012
PurposeIn the UK, Japanese knotweed is an invasive, non‐native plant that has the potential to cause significant damage to buildings, foundations and development sites if left to establish. The plant's bamboo‐like stems can push their way through tarmac and expose weaknesses or cracks in concrete. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current

Enhancing Japanese knotweed control and longterm habitat restoration post-treatment

2021
Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica var. japonica) is among the most problematic invasive plants worldwide due to its negative impacts on recipient ecosystems and propensity for rapid spread, eliciting substantial control costs. As global focus on sustainability intensifies in response to the current biodiversity and climate crises, the value of ...
