TLDR
More allelochemicals may be released into the invaded ecosystems under the invasion of R. typhina with increasing invasion degree and time presumably and then trigger more noticeably allelopathic effects on the performance of associated plant species.About:

Moderate and heavy Solidago canadensis L. invasion are associated with decreased taxonomic diversity but increased functional diversity of plant communities in East China
TL;DR: The increased functional diversity of plant communities under S. canadensis invasion conditions may lead to a more efficient use of resources at the interspecific level via niche complementarity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicological effects of metals with different concentrations and types on the morphological and physiological performance of wheat.
TL;DR: The ecotoxicological effects of heavy metals on the morphological and physiological performance of wheat increased with increasing heavy metal concentrations, especially on the leaf chlorophyll and N contents of wheat.

Allelopathic effects of Canada goldenrod leaf extracts on the seed germination and seedling growth of lettuce reinforced under salt stress.
Congyan Wang,Bingde Wu,Kun Jiang +2 more
TL;DR: Allelopathic effects of the notorious invader Canada goldenrod on the seed germination and seedling growth of the native lettuce and salt stress may be beneficial to the further invasion of the invaders mainly via the reduced growth performance of the natives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canada goldenrod invasion affect taxonomic and functional diversity of plant communities in heterogeneous landscapes in urban ecosystems in East China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the effects of invaders invasion on the taxonomic and functional diversity of native communities across different types of urban ecosystems to understand the mechanism underlying successful invasion, especially in heterogeneous landscapes in urban ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined nitrogen deposition and Cd stress antagonistically affect the allelopathy of invasive alien species Canada goldenrod on the cultivated crop lettuce
TL;DR: The weakened allelopathy of Canada goldenrod may prevent its further invasion process speculatively, especially under the combined nitrogen deposition and Cd stress.

Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Responses constructed from experiments under controlled conditions showed that LMA varied strongly with light, temperature and submergence, moderately with CO2 concentration and nutrient and water stress, and marginally under most other conditions.

TL;DR: Leaf thickness can be estimated by (SLA x LDMC)(-1), allowing leaf thickness to be derived from easily and widely measured leaf traits.

Relationships among ecologically important dimensions of plant trait variation in seven neotropical forests

TL;DR: The dimensions represented by SLA, seed/fruit size and leaf size were essentially independent and thus conveyed largely independent information about plant strategies, and to a lesser extent the same was true for plant height and WD.

Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights
TL;DR: China’s current invasive alien plant species were analyzed with regard to their floristic status, biological attributes and invasion status elsewhere, demonstrating that in China invasive plants are present throughout the country, with a particularly high species richness in the Southeast.

Invasive Plants Have Scale-Dependent Effects on Diversity by Altering Species-Area Relationships
TL;DR: It is shown that invaders drive scale-dependent biodiversity loss through strong neutral sampling effects on the number of individuals in a community, and that nonneutral species extirpations are due to a proportionately larger effect of invaders on common species, suggesting that rare species are buffered against extinction.
