“…Those North American tree species with high-quality timber or desirable fruit have been imported and widely planted in multiple provinces in China (such as Anhui, Beijing, Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Nanjing, Shandong, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan; Fig. 1, Table 1) since the beginning of the twentieth century; they are now common urban trees or commercial plants (Wu 1983, Jiang et al 1997, Chen 2010, Lin et al 2022, Catalogue of Life China: 2022 Annual Checklist: http://www.sp2000.org.cn/).…”

Invasive insect wood borers are a threat to global forests and tree-related industries as they can damage trees and spread plant pathogens. Reports of damages by wood borers on plants that were planted overseas may facilitate the identification of potential invaders and speed up risk assessment. However, much of this information remains unavailable to the international plant protection community due to language barriers, lack of digitization, or limited circulation of regional literature. Here, we investigated reports of wood borers on 7 important North American commercial tree species planted in China (Carya illinoinensis, Liquidambar styraciflua, Pinus elliottii, Pinus taeda, Quercus texana, Quercus rubra, and Quercus virginiana) in peer-reviewed as well as “grey” (nonpeer-reviewed) Chinese literature. A total of 60 unique wood borer records were found, yielding reports of 4 orders, 39 genera, and 44 species of insect wood borers. Among Coleoptera, longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) were the most commonly reported colonizers of North American trees in China. Chinese peer-reviewed reports of pests on alien plants are a valuable tool to survey for potential wood-boring invaders of North America, and wherever North American trees are planted and have the potential to encounter Asian invasive insects. Digitization and dissemination of non-English literature are essential for contemporary risk assessment. On the other hand, the nonpeer reviewed “grey” literature, primarily agency reports and student theses, provided only 5% of the records; many incidental observations were unreliable.

“…Like many other parts of the world, China has seen a steady increase in plant invasions (Hao & Ma, 2023; Lin et al., 2022). To increase our knowledge about drivers of naturalization, we used the most comprehensive dataset of plant species introduced to China for cultivation (Lin, 2018), and combined it with information on naturalization and species characteristics. We used generalized linear models to test whether naturalization is associated with functional traits (i.e.…”

AimsMost naturalized plants are escapees from cultivation. Inventories of cultivated introduced species thus offer unique, still underutilized, opportunities to assess naturalization drivers of introduced plants. We used a comprehensive inventory of 13,718 introduced species cultivated in China's botanical gardens to test which species characteristics distinguish the 739 species that have naturalized.LocationsChina.MethodsWe used generalized linear models to test whether the naturalization of cultivated introduced plants in China is associated with functional traits, propagule pressure, environmental niche and introduction history. To test direct and indirect effects of those variables and their relative importance in driving naturalization, we used structural equation models.ResultsWe showed that species were more likely to naturalize when they originate from the Americas, are more widely cultivated, and have a longer residence time. Moreover, species were more likely to naturalize if they have a good environmental match, are short‐lived herbs, are predominantly propagated from seeds, and, in the case of herbs, are relatively tall compared to other herbs. Part of the latter effects are mediated by how these variables relate to propagule pressure proxies, and this varies among short‐lived herbs, long‐lived herbs and woody plants.Main ConclusionsNaturalization is partly driven by life‐form‐dependent cultivation biases.

“…All alien plant species were widely distributed in China according to the occurrence records in GBIF (www. gbif.org) and verified in 'The Checklist of the Alien Invasive Plants in China' (Yan et al, 2019) and 'The data set on catalogue of alien plants in China' (Lin et al, 2022). The 18 native plant species were widely distributed in China based on both the records in GBIF (www.gbif.…”

Functional traits of both specific alien species and receptive community but not community diversity determined the invasion success under biotic and abiotic conditions

Biodiversity can provide some resistance to alien species in some cases, but not in others. The observed paradoxical results may be related to several reasons, including variations in abiotic and/or biotic conditions, alien species characteristics and the fact that the species number cannot adequately reflect native community diversity. A comprehensive study that incorporates these elements is lacking. We constructed invasion systems using nine alien plant species and 12 native communities, composed of two diversity levels (three vs. six species), under different nitrogen (N) and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) inoculation conditions. We used this fully crossed factorial experiment, that is, N (low vs. high) × native community diversity (three vs. six species) × AMF (with vs. without), to systematically explore the invasion success in native communities. We found that the species number of native community did not affect invasion success under any of the N or AMF conditions. The effects of N enrichment and AMF inoculation on invasion were not consistent between alien species and native communities based on their phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in response to N enrichment and AMF inoculation. Specifically, the changing of invasion in response to N enrichment and AMF inoculation was associated with the plasticity of plant height and root mass fraction that reflects the competitiveness for the acquisition of light and soil resources. Our results that species number did not capture well the resistance of the native community suggested that the simple expression of species richness is not realistic to describe the invasion resistance of the community. Additionally, the association between functional traits of both alien species and native communities and invasion success suggested that changes in competitive advantage and resource acquisition strategy are more important in explaining changes in invasive success in different N and AMF conditions. Future studies are needed to explore invasion success by systematically considering the characteristics of invasive species and the native community, and the specific abiotic and biotic conditions. Using functional traits may help advance our understanding of plant invasion in broad circumstances and shed light on a generalized framework of biological invasion.
