“…Among the two congeneric species, E. nuttallii was found to be more resistant to nutrient enrichment and temperature increases (Greulich & Trémolières ). E. canadensis was found to be more sensitive to eutrophication than E. nuttallii (Kolada & Kutya ). Moreover, light availability had a stronger effect on growth rate and plant morphology of E. canadensis than temperature (Riis et al .…”

“…The new invader plays a key role in structuring aquatic plant communities since it often forms monospecific vegetation types in hypertrophic waters throughout Western Europe (van Zuidam & Peeters ). Since the beginning of the 21th century E. nuttallii has appeared in the Central European countries Poland (Kolada & Kutya ), Slovakia (Ot'ahel'ová & Valachovič ), Hungary (Király et al . ; Lukács et al .…”

Phenotypic plasticity as a clue for invasion success of the submerged aquatic plant Elodea nuttallii

et al. 2018

Two closely related alien submerged aquatic plants were introduced into Europe. The new invader (Elodea nuttallii) gradually displaced E. canadensis even at sites where the latter was well established. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effects of environmental factors on several phenotypic characteristics of the two Elodea species, and to relate these phenotypic characteristics to the invasion success of E. nuttallii over E. canadensis.• In a factorial design, Elodea plants were grown in aquaria containing five different nitrogen concentrations and incubated at five different light intensities. We used six functional traits (apical shoot RGR), total shoot RGR, relative elongation, root length, lateral spread, branching degree) to measure the environmental response of the species. We calculated plasticity indices to express the phenotypic differences between species.• Light and nitrogen jointly triggered the development of phenotypic characteristics that make E. nuttallii a more successful invader in eutrophic waters than E. canadensis. The stronger invader showed a wider range of phenotypic plasticity. The apical elongation was the main difference between the two species, with E. nuttallii being more than two times longer than E. canadensis. E. canadensis formed dense side shoots even under high shade and low nitrogen levels, whereas E. nuttallii required higher light and nitrogen levels.• We found that under more eutrophic conditions, E. nuttallii reach the water surface sooner than E. canadensis and through intensive branching outcompetes all other plants including E. canadensis. Our findings support the theory that more successful invaders have wider phenotypic plasticity.

“…Warming could also improve the adaption of some aquatic alien plants used in landscaping (such as Nymphaea rubra ) and thus increase the species diversity of aquatic vegetation (Hussner and Lösch, 2005; Vojtkó et al, 2017). Warming could even weaken the spread of certain aquatic invasive plants, such as Elodea canadensis in Polish lakes, as warming strengthened the thermal stratification of water columns and thus might reduce the nutrient cycles between deeper waters and surface, which would weaken the nutrient supply to E. canadensis (Kolada and Kutyła, 2016; Vasconcelos et al, 2019). Furthermore, the asymmetry of global warming between day and night may further exacerbate the invasion of aquatic alien plants and cause considerable detrimental impacts (Harvey, 1995; Walther et al, 2002; Chu et al, 2014).…”

Many alien aquatic plants are deliberately introduced because they have economic, ornamental, or environmental values; however, they may also negatively affect aquatic ecosystems, by blocking rivers, restricting aquatic animals and plants by decreasing dissolved oxygen, and reducing native biodiversity. These positive and/or negative ecological effects may be enhanced under global change. Here, we examine the impacts of global change on aquatic alien plant introduction and/or invasions by reviewing their introduction pathways, distributions, and ecological effects. We focus on how climate change, aquatic environmental pollution, and China’s rapid economic growth in recent decades affect their uses and invasiveness in China. Among 55 species of alien aquatic plants in China, 10 species are invasive, such as Eichhornia crassipes , Alternanthera philoxeroides , and Pistia stratiotes . Most of these invaders were intentionally introduced and dispersed across the country but are now widely distributed and invasive. Under climate warming, many species have expanded their distributions to areas where it was originally too cold for their survival. Thus, these species are (and will be) considered to be beneficial plants in aquaculture and for the restoration of aquatic ecosystems (for water purification) across larger areas. However, for potential invasive species, climate warming is (and will be) increasing their invasion risk in more areas. In addition, nitrogen deposition and phosphorus inputs may also alter the status of some alien species. Furthermore, climate warming has shifted the interactions between alien aquatic plants and herbivores, thus impacting their future spreads. Under climate change, more precipitation in North China and more frequent flooding in South China will increase the uncertainties of ecological effects of alien aquatic plants in these regions. We also predict that, under the continuing booming economy in China, more and more alien aquatic plants will be used for aquatic landscaping and water purification. In conclusion, our study indicates that both human activities under rapid economic growth and climate change can either increase the potential uses of alien aquatic plants or make the aquatic invaders worse in China and other areas in the world. These findings are critical for future risk assessment of aquatic plant introduction and aquatic ecosystem restoration.

“…In their new territories, alien species could expand their populations either regarding the geographical area and/or in terms of increasing frequency and density (Kolada & Sebastian, 2016). The destruction of habitat in BBSNP caused by invader species needs to be addressed immediately by providing best practice management and controlling mantangan.…”

“…Research trials are needed on its use as fodder for herbivores, especially goats. The goat is one ruminant whose main food source is green field grasses (Kolada & Sebastian, 2016). Such field grasses are usually low in protein content, which is not sufficient for either domesticated or wild ruminant.…”

THE UTILIZATION OF Merremia peltata FOR LIVESTOCK FEED TO CONTROL AN INVASIVE ALIEN PLANT SPECIES IN BUKIT BARISAN SELATAN NATIONAL PARK. Mantangan (Merremia peltata) is a plant species which invades the habitat of herbivorous animals such as elephants and rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP) Sumatera, Indonesia. One possible way to overcome the problem is by providing M. peltata as livestock feed. This paper observes potential use of mantangan for goat feed. The study was conducted at Tampang Tua Village, a buffer zone of BBSNP where most of communities are farmers. The study and treatment were given to 6-7 months old goat breeders with an initial weight of 7-8 kg. Additional forage feed data were collected during March to June 2014. The research was designed as Latin Square Design with four treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of four formulations: treatment A (field grass), B (field grass + 200 g mantangan), C (field grass + 400 g mantangan), and D (field grass + 600 g mantangan). Field grass is available continuously (ad-libitum). Result shows that the treatments significantly affect feed consumption level (P <0.05), but it did not have significant effect to body weight (P> 0.05). In other words, mantangan is potential for animal feed. This research was conducted as an effort to manage invasive alien plant species by utilizing mantangan as feed for livestock.
