Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae) invasion effects on soil physicochemical properties
TL;DR: Results indicate that L. camara can improve soil fertility and influence nutrient cycling, making the substratum ideal for its own growth and might explain the ability of the weed to outcompete other species, especially native ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) invasion had limited impact on major soil nutrients and enzyme activity: Is the null effect real or reflects data insensitivity?
Olusegun O. Osunkoya,Olufemi A. Akinsanmi,Layla S. A. Lim,Christine Perrett,Jason Callander,Kunjithapatham Dhileepan +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, there was a tendency for increased soil major nutrients and microbial traits with Parthenium weed invasion, and the magnitude and/or direction of the weed invasion is affected by complex interactions among environmental factors that might change across invaded habitats and survey periods, making broad generalizations un-informative for management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil seed bank dynamics in response to an extreme flood event in a riparian habitat
Olusegun O. Osunkoya,Sadiq Ali,Sadiq Ali,Thi Minh Hong Nguyen,Christine Perrett,Assad Shabbir,Assad Shabbir,S. C. Navie,Amalia Belgeri,K. Dhileepan,Steve W. Adkins +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied changes in the soil seed-bank along riparian corridors before and after a major flood event in southeast Queensland, Australia, where baseline ecological data on riparian seedbank populations have previously been collected in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling population growth and site specific control of the invasive Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae) under differing fire regimes
TL;DR: Simulation showed that, except for the farm population, periodic burning could work within 4–10 years for control of the weed, but fire frequency should increase to at least once every 2 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cat's claw creeper vine, Macfadyena unguis-cati (Bignoniaceae), invasion impacts: comparative leaf nutrient content and effects on soil physicochemical properties.
TL;DR: Consistency of the patterns across many sites suggests that M. unguis-cati may improve soil fertility and influence nutrient cycling, perhaps through legacy effects of its own litter input.
