“…This contrasts with the positive responses of introduced species to increased temperatures observed elsewhere (e.g. Verlinden & Nijs 2010;Chuine et al 2012;He, Li & Peng 2012;Liu et al 2017). Our results suggest that colonization success of incoming species will be determined by their ability to tolerate warmer climates.…”

However, with ongoing disturbance and climate change, this barrier may be reduced for some species. 2.Here we tested how colonization ability (a prerequisite for invasion) of frequently planted alien ornamentals depends on disturbance and heating, and on their species characteristics.We sowed seeds of 37 non-naturalized alien herbaceous garden-plant species into native grassland plots with and without disturbance, and with and without infrared heating lamps.To assess whether their responses differ from those within the regional wild flora, we also sowed 14 native species and 12 naturalized alien species. During two years, we assessed the likelihoods of germination, first-year survival, second-year survival and flowering of these 63 study species.3. The heating treatment, which also reduced soil moisture, decreased all measures of colonization success, but more so for sown native species than for the non-naturalized and naturalized alien ones. The disturbance treatment increased colonization success, and because heating decreased productivity of the undisturbed grassland plots, it also increased invasibility of these plots. Average colonization success of non-naturalized aliens was reduced by heating, but some species were not affected or performed even better with heating, particularly those with an annual life span and a high seed mass. Winter hardiness improved colonization ability of non-naturali...

“…So far, the response of invasive alien plant species to climate warming has mainly been investigated with models (Thuiller et al ., ; Sheppard, ). The few studies that have tested responses to warming experimentally have usually done so for the invader itself (Wang et al ., ), or for invaders and their congeneric native counterparts separately (Verlinden & Nijs, ; He et al ., ). The impact of warming on interacting invaders and natives on the other hand, which is key to understanding impact on biodiversity, has to our knowledge only been investigated in two studies, one showing that warming would favour alien species (Chuine et al ., ) and one showing the opposite (Williams et al ., ).…”

Climate warming alters competition between two highly invasive alien plant species and dominant native competitors

Biological invasions and climate warming are two major threats to the world's biodiversity. To date, their impacts have largely been considered independently, despite indications that climate warming may increase the success of many invasive alien species. We therefore set up an experiment to study competition between native and invasive alien plant species and the effects of climate warming thereon. Two highly invasive alien plant species in Belgium, each with a native competitor that dominated in invaded sites, were grown either together (1:1 mixtures) or in isolation (monocultures) at ambient and elevated temperature (+3°C) in climatecontrolled chambers. To detect possible mechanisms underlying the effects of competition and elevated temperature, we conducted a combined growth and nitrogen uptake analysis. In one pair, Senecio inaequidens -Plantago lanceolata (alien invasivenative), the alien species dominated in mixture, while in the other pair, Solidago gigantea -Epilobium hirsutum, the native species dominated. Climate warming reduced the invader dominance in the first species pair, but stimulated the suppressed invader in the latter. Many of the biomass responses for these two species pairs could be traced to the root-specific nitrogen uptake capacity. The responses of the native-invasive interaction to warming could not always be extrapolated from the monoculture responses, pointing to the necessity for experiments that take into account species interactions.

“…In regard to environmental factors, relatively high light intensity and high temperature in winter can contribute to the overwintering of E. adenophorum and help the weed to gain an advantage in competition with other species [15]. Besides, He et al [16] reports that by increasing the growth and stress-tolerance of E. adenophorum, climate warming may enhance its invasions. Although various prevention and control measures have been applied and some measures indeed stop its invasion locally or temporarily, the invasion of the weed has not been effectively stopped in the whole China so far [17].…”

A New Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Eupatorium adenophorum under Climate Change in China

et al. 2017

Eupatorium adenophorum has caused tremendous ecological and economic losses in China since the 1940s. Although a great deal of money has been expended on the prevention and control of the weed, the situation is still deteriorating. To identify its crucial environmental constraints, an ecological niche factor analysis was employed. The distribution of the weed was predicted by the maximum entropy model. The results indicate that the temperature in winter is more influential than that in other quarters of a year, and the maximum temperature in March restricts the spread of E. adenophorum most. Currently, the weed is mainly distributed in four provinces of southwest China. From the present to the 2080s, the center of L3, which has a potential distribution probability of 0.7 to 1.0, will move 53 km to the southwest. Accordingly, the area of L3 will expand by 16.04%. To prevent its further expansion, we suggest differentiating the prevention and control measures according to the potential distribution levels predicted. Meanwhile, the integration of various means of removal and comprehensive utilization of E. adenophorum is highly encouraged. Additionally, precautions should be taken in regions that have not yet, or have been only slightly, invaded by the E. adenophorum.
