“…On the other hand, S. virgaurea was considered to be a taxon with low competitive ability that is commonly displaced from its habitat by invasive goldenrods [ 54 ]. In addition, it was found that the allelopathic activity of S. virgaurea root and inflorescence extracts was higher than those of S. canadensis and S. ×niederederi [ 55 ]. This activity likely improves its survival in mixed-species stands as well.…”

“…Aqueous ethanolic extracts of the roots and rhizomes of S. canadensis inhibited the germination and growth of different plant species and the mycorrhizal fungal population in its rhizosphere soil [ 60 ]. Meanwhile, the root essential oil, which was dominated by limonene and β -pinene, suppressed the germination of lettuce seeds and showed significant inhibitory effects on the growth of lettuce and garden pepper cress [ 55 ]. In this way, the effects of the extracts on other species make them potentially useful as bioherbicides that can be used to help manage a range of pest and disease problems.…”

The high environmental importance of invasive goldenrod has prompted research to find potential benefits that can be derived from these species. This study aimed to identify differences in root phenolic profiles among five Solidago species, thus providing valuable information on their potential applications and the botanical origin of the raw material. The roots of native S. virgaurea L., two alien species S. gigantea Aiton and S. canadensis L. and their hybrids S. ×niederederi Khek and S. ×snarskisii Gudž. & Žaln. were sampled from mixed-species stands in Lithuania. A complex of twelve phenolic acids and their derivatives was identified and quantified in methanol–water root extracts using the HPLC-PDA and LC/MS systems. The radical-scavenging capacities of the extracts were assessed by ABTS. The chemical content of the roots of S. virgaurea, S. gigantea and S. ×niederederi were statistically similar, while the roots of S. canadensis and S. ×snarskisii contained lower amounts of compounds than the other species. The PCA score-plot models of the phenolic profiles only partially confirmed the identification of S. ×niederederi and S. ×snarskisii as crosses between native and alien species. The findings from the phenolic profiles and the observed radical-scavenging activity of root extracts of Solidago species provide valuable insights into their potential applications in various fields.

“…Recent S. canadensis metabolic analysis has revealed the existence of 122 metabolites, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, and terpenoids [70], which provide the plant allelopathic potential. Others found that S. canadensis affects the growth and seed germination of tested plants (Lactuca sativa, Morus alba, Pharbitis nil, Brassica campestris, Lepidium sativum, and others) [71][72][73]. The allelopathic effect was also observed in the research by Perera et al [74] where S. canadensis leaf and flower extracts caused lower germination and seedling growth of different grassland plant species such as Festuca rubra L., Phleum pratense L., Poa pratensis L., Lotus corniculatus L., Trifolium repens L., and Silene flos-cuculi (L.) Greuter & Burdet.…”

Solidago canadensis L. (Canadian goldenrod) is a widely distributed invasive herb from the Asteraceae family. It contains compounds that can change the soil structure and its nutritional components and thus affect indigenous species’ growth, germination, and survival. Consequently, it can pose a major ecological threat to biodiversity. On the other hand, many studies show that this species, due to its chemical properties, can be used for many positive purposes in pharmacy, agriculture, medicine, cosmetic industry, etc. S. canadensis contains a diverse array of bioactive compounds that may be responsible for antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Many studies have discussed the invasiveness of S. canadensis, and several chemical and genetic differences between this plant in native and introduced environments have been discovered. Previous ecological and environmental evaluations of the potential of S. canadensis as an ecosystem services provider have come out with four promising groups of its products: active extracts, essential oil, fuel, and others. Although identified, there is a need for detailed validation and prioritisation of ecosystem services. This article aims to overview the S. canadensis invasive features, emphasising chemical characterisation and its potential for providing ecosystem services. Moreover, it identifies scenarios and proposes a methodology for estimating S. canadensis use in bioeconomy.

The European Union is currently pursuing a policy of moving away from synthetic plant protection products to natural ones. This is reflected in the search for natural substances that can replace them in agricultural production. Many studies indicate that invasive species of Solidago have such allelopathic potential. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of extracts of two Solidago species (Solidago gigantea L. and Solidago canadensis L.) on the growth and development of cereal weeds: Chenopodium album, Papaver rhoeas and Agrostemma githago. Using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC - MS) techniques, the material (crude extract, phenolic and saponins fraction) was standardized and tested for allelopathic activity using the modified first generation biotest. The results indicate the phenolic fraction (20.04 mg/g dry weight of Solidago gigantea; 21.03 mg/g for Solidago canadensis) and saponin fraction (2.27 and 3.74 mg/g dry weight respectively). Both fractions from S. gigantea are characterized by high phytotoxicity in relation to Ch. album, causing over 90% reduction of its biomass in relation to the control. For P. rhoeas these differences are not so clear. Biomass reduction by the phenolic fraction was 20% and by the saponin fraction 50%. In the case of S. canadensis, allelopathic activity was not as pronounced and ranged from 20–40% for the saponin fraction relative to the P. rhoeas. The highest resistance to preparations made from both species of Solidago was demonstrated by A. githago.
