Sources and modes of action of invasive knotweed allelopathy : the effects of leaf litter and trained soil on the germination and growth of native plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Invasive knotweeds, native to Eastern Asia, are among the most dominant plant invaders of European and North American temperate ecosystems. Recent studies indicate that one cause of this dominance might be allelopathy, but the possible sources and modes ...

Potential phytotoxic and shading effects of invasive Fallopia (Polygonaceae) taxa on the germination of dominant native species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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.

Nativeness is not binary—a graduated terminology for native and non‐native species in the Anthropocene

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, 2022
With novel ecosystems becoming the norm, it is increasingly necessary to re‐evaluate what is meant by “restoration.” An important aspect concerns which species are defined as native and, by extension, non‐native. In order to better inform restoration actions, we have here devised a classification system of 10 graduated terms describing intermediate ...
