“…When a particular outcome does not occur in the investigative process, these areas allow learning to occur from reflecting on the experiment's hypothesis and design (Chen, 2010;Evans et al, 2020;Symes et al, 2015). The current experimental design contained elements from Barritt and Facelli (2001), Abihudi et al (2020) and Huang et al (2021). The basis for scientific inquiry is the generation of new information and then explaining the results in the context of the current theory (Plaisance et al, 2021;Roux et al, 2017).…”

“…Comparing a threatened species and a common species occurred in Abihudi et al (2020). Huang et al (2021) extended the comparative concept to include an introduced species. The current investigation investigated the competition/nursery effect, which produced single germination with M. polymorpha.…”

“…The assumption was that the competition for resources would only occur through the interaction between a native species and introduced species. Huang et al (2021) indicate that competition could occur between two native species. Like Huang et al (2021), the competition/nursery effects occur through the time taken for germination and the speed at which the species establishes.…”

The Allocasuarina robusta pilot study investigated the process involved to facilitate seed recruitment as part of a threatened species project. Several experiments occurred, each examining a specific attribute in the seed recruitment process. A. robusta is a threatened species of national and local significance. The research design would help land managers and communities to conserve A. robusta. The investigation aimed to improve seed recruitment in A. robusta occurring under natural conditions. The experiment results highlighted several experimental design flaws and identified opportunities to increase community participation as part of the recovery program.

Chromolaena odorata is one of the most common invasive plants, as the phosphorus input from guano in the coral islands continuously decreasing, causing substantial harm to the native vegetation in recent years. In the current study, we investigated the effects of soil phosphorous content, light intensity and competition on several physiological traits (plant height, leaf area, maximum net photosynthetic rate, and relative growth rate) of C. odorata and the native species Pisonia grandis and Scaevola taccada based on a greenhouse experiment with two light intensities and three levels of soil available phosphorus (P) content. We also evaluated the effects of light intensity and soil phosphorus content (and their interaction) on the relative yield and aggressivity coefficient of the invasive species C. odorata. The results showed that low light intensity significantly inhibited the growth of the three species. However, the high P treatment significantly inhibited the growth of C. odorata and P. grandis and significantly increased the growth of S. taccada under full-light conditions. The effect of soil P content on the interspecific competition among C. odorata, P. grandis, and S. taccada was mediated by light intensity and species combination. The high P treatment significantly reduced the competitive advantage of C. odorata over P. grandis. The results demonstrate that shaded habitats with a high soil P content could restrict invasion by C. odorata. This suggests that the invasiveness of C. odorata in tropical coral islands can be reduced by protecting native vegetation and thus increasing shade and soil P content.
