“…Amorpha fruticosa expresses negative allelopathic effect toward some plant species (Xiao et al, 2016 ), while stimulating some others (Wang et al, 2018 ). Interestingly, the growth of another invasive plant Phytolacca americana could be controlled at the sites where A. fruticosa was in vigorous growth (Fu et al, 2012 ).…”

“…However, according to our observations in Special Nature Reserve Obedska Bara, Serbia, it dominates bush layer in mixed forest of English oak ( Quercus robur L.), manna ash ( Fraxinus ornus L.), black poplar ( Populus nigra L.), and common hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus L.), whereas on meadows and pastures, it absolutely predominates in a few years. It succeeds thanks to a number of its attributes, that is, fast growth, shading competitors, its nitrogen‐fixing ability (Boscutti et al, 2020), and suppressing allelopathic effects (Csiszár, 2009; Xiao et al, 2016). Its ability to inhibit the germination and growth of other plant species by the release of allelopathic substances was confirmed by Csiszár (2009) and Csiszár et al (2013) who found out that the juglone index for A. fruticosa was near 1 for lower extract concentration or 2 for higher extract concentration, while Xiao et al (2016) proved inhibition in growth of some medical plants planted in the humus soil of A. fruticosa .…”

This may suggest that allelopathic effects could contribute to the overall success of the invasion process.…”

Increased mobility of people around the globe has facilitated transferring species to new environments, where some have found suitable conditions and even become invasive. False indigo‐bush (Amorpha fruticosa L.) is a plant native to North America but has intentionally or unintentionally spread over the Northern Hemisphere, where it often becomes invasive. The plant is especially easily dispersed within the watersheds of large rivers, where seasonal flooding is regular. Seeds and other propagules are buoyant, and when the water recedes, new plants emerge, forming dense thickets where only a few other species can co‐exist. In order to sustain native biodiversity, spread control is needed. However, mechanical control and eradication measures currently in use are labor demanding and costly, while application of herbicides is limited. On the other hand, the plant possesses a number of beneficial properties, such as phytochemical applications (medical and insecticidal effects), biocoenotic uses (honey plant, ornamental features), and ecosystem services (soil stabilization, provision of food for animals, and fiber and biomass for industry, e.g., nanocellulose). For the reasons above mentioned, the plant is considered quite controversial, and the paper discusses both aspects: potential detrimental effects when introduced to new habitats and its beneficial uses for human society. In addition, the paper presents alternative measures of spreading control (e.g., grazing) and argues that exploiting it for beneficial purposes might help spread control, thus covering the expenses of controlling its distribution.

This study examined the effects of conservation management strategies, including traditional grazing, on marsh vegetation invaded by false indigo bush (Amorpha fruticosa L.) Fine‐scale methods were employed to analyze vegetation in stands subjected to combined treatments (mowing and grazing) as well as in untreated invaded stands. Vegetation composition and diversity were evaluated using four key metrics: compositional diversity (CD), local distinctiveness (LD), association (AS), and realized species combinations (NRC). Results revealed that the combined treatment led to significantly increased CD (5.366 ± 0.394) and LD (6.41 ± 0.668), despite the presence of the invasive species. Conversely, untreated invaded vegetation exhibited lower CD (3.756 ± 0.755) and LD (4.079 ± 0.93). Additionally, AS and NRC values were higher in treated stands, although the differences were not statistically significant. Notably, the characteristic areas of all functions did not differ significantly between treated and untreated stands. These findings suggest that combining management strategies, such as mowing and traditional grazing, effectively limits A. fruticosa invasion and supports marsh ecosystem diversity by promoting the coexistence of native species. Continuous management, particularly grazing, is crucial, as cessation of these practices may lead to rapid reinvasion by the invasive species and a subsequent loss of native biodiversity. Overall, this study highlights the importance of proactive management strategies in combating invasive species and conserving marshland biodiversity.
