“…Due to complex geographical and ecological conditions, the GMS is highly vulnerable to invasive pests and this risk is amplified by cross‐border trade and travel (Shen et al ., , ; Yu et al ., ). Pests such as M. micrantha , which cross borders easily, have become abundant throughout the region, resulting in economic losses and threatening sustainable development throughout the GMS.…”

Increasingly, weeds have been taking on global distributions. With the proliferation of invasive weeds has come the challenge of managing these species over broad geographical regions, with diverse habitats and political jurisdictions. Here, we review the management of Mikania micrantha Kunth (Asteraceae; mile-aminute) throughout its invaded range, extending through most of the Pacific islands and southern and south-east Asia. Context matters when determining the best course of action for managing M. micrantha, as it has invaded a large variety of agricultural and natural systems. In Queensland, Australia and Florida, USA, M. micrantha has been targeted in relatively successful eradication campaigns, highlighting the importance of early detection and rapid response methods, while elsewhere in its invaded range, populations are either still increasing or showing limited signs of decline. An inter-regional approach to research and management should incorporate successful management strategies employed throughout the invaded range including, but not limited to, chemical and cultural control practices, manual and mechanical control, classical biological control using the rust fungus Puccinia spegazzinii, plant-plant competition and integrated approaches utilising two or more control methods concurrently. Additional knowledge of M. micrantha genetics is required to determine if management approaches could be fine-tuned for particular populations. Countries bordering the Mekong River formed a network in 2011 to co-ordinate the management of invasive species such as M. micrantha. Expanding such a collaborative approach to other regions could further reduce populations of M. micrantha and limit its spread.

“…In China, it is found in vacant lots, orchards, forests, roads, and conservation units, and it has been reported to invade crops such as banana, lemon, and orange (Shen et al 2017;Zhu et al 2018). In abandoned lands with yellow soil, there are a large number of vines as compared to other species, and these vines eventually reduce the number of seedlings, inhibiting restoration and ecological succession (Haitan et al 2011).…”

Ethnobotany, ecology, pharmacology, and chemistry of Anredera cordifolia (Basellaceae): a review

The potential of a plant with medicinal and nutritional properties, Anredera cordifolia, is reviewed. Its common names include “Bertalha” and “folha gorda” and it is popularly used for wound healing and against fungal infections and other types of infection. Its pharmacological properties have been widely investigated and acknowledged, especially with regard to its antibacterial activity, which improves the healing of wounds infected by Staphylococcus aureus, and to its antifungal activity against Candida albicans. It is an unconventional food plant, with leaves and aerial tubers used as food prepared in varied ways. It is also considered an invasive plant in several countries and thus classified as a weed. Its characteristics of a Brazilian native plant, with proven medicinal properties and unconventional use as food, underlie our study on its ecology and botanical classification, as well as the pharmacological assays and screening of chemical constituents.

“…These invasive plant species have caused serious ecological and economic problems, such as the loss of native biodiversity (Ding et al, 2006; Du & Zhang, 2005; Shen et al, 2012; Yang et al, 2014), destruction of the ecosystem structure and function and increase of administrative costs (Li, 2014). In the Dehong prefecture, in the southwest of the Yunnan province, invasive plants have adversely affected crop production and ecosystem services (Shen et al, 2017). Therefore, more research should investigate invasive plants' impact to help safeguard Yunnan's high biodiversity.…”

Yunnan province is known for its extraordinarily rich biodiversity, but this is threatened by invasive species under climate change. In the present study, the current and future potential distribution of an invasive grass-Tithonia diversifolia A. Gray in Yunnan province were predicted by species distribution modeling, under two climate change conditions (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) through to 2050s. In addition, the potential risk of T. diversifolia to the protected areas of Yunnan was examined. Our results showed that the potential distribution areas of T. diversifolia would increase by 12 and 93% by 2050s, under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively. Yunnan's protected areas are now susceptible to T. diversifolia, and the scope of this plant's effects would continue to expand under climate change. A total of 26 protected areas are currently impacted by T. diversifolia, in a total affected range area of 2,822 km 2 , but by 2050s, this is predicted to increase by 23 and 53%, and would lead to one and 13 protected areas newly threatened under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively. These results suggest that T. diversifolia would benefit from global warming, we should prevent further global warming. In addition, human disturbance should be reduced and prohibited to protect native plants and forest ecosystem in southern, southeastern and northwestern part of Yunnan.
