“…was limited to 0–700 m, other factors constraining the expansion of nonnative plants can come into play at higher elevations. For example, in the Kashmir Himalaya with an elevational range of 3000 m (from 1600 to 4500 m asl), the proportion of both native and nonnative mycorrhizal plant species has been shown to decrease with elevation, likely due to harsh environmental conditions (Dar et al ., 2020). This is in line with another Himalayan study, where the highest mycorrhizal plants were found at 5800 m asl, while the upper limit for plant survival was around 6150 m asl (Kotilínek et al ., 2017).…”

“…Therefore, the higher ploidy level variations were tightly linked with IAPs spread. The mutualistic association of beneficial microbes and endophytes (e.g., mycorrhiza) with IAPs can also facilitate their spread (Shah et al 2008;Dar et al 2020a). Further, the molecular approaches such as environmental (e) DNA detections or surveillance and decision-support trees are being investigated as IAPs management strategies (Sepulveda et al 2020).…”

Global biodiversity is not uniformly distributed in terms of species richness. The global and national protected areas (PAs), the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and the North East (NE) India, are extremely rich in plant biodiversity, contributing to the environment and the socio-economy/livelihood prospects, linked with human health or well-being. However, the anthropogenic disturbances have modified the vegetation structure of PAs, IHR, and NE India, such that the pristine landscapes are now ripe for the encroachment of invasive alien plants (IAPs). The plants invasions is now increasingly being realised as a major threat to biodiversity globally and the ecologically sensitive mountain ecosystems are no exception. The abrupt spread of IAP in these regions can significantly exacerbate the biodiversity conservation problems, as these regions are already faced with challenges of habitat fragmentation and climate change. Also, the complex interactions among the plants invasion, habitat destruction and climate change can further impose a challenge to the restoration ecologists. Interestingly, the invading plants are equipped with several species or site or habitat-specific adaptive mechanisms like the presence of allelochemicals as novel weapons that facilitate their landscape spread and ecological dynamics. This review describes the theories or hypotheses which may account for the accelerated IAPs spread in IHR, NE India and PAs. The research progress in IHR and NE India is discussed with respect to worst invaders like Lantana camara, Chromolaena odorata, Ageratum conyzoides, Parthenium hysterophorus, Mikania micrantha, etc. In this respect, the outcome of preliminary research in NE India to identify the dominant invaders through quantitative methods is also mentioned. Lastly, the management strategies are described to mitigate the IAPs hazards for sustainable biodiversity conservation.
