“…Allelochemicals are produced in some plant parts and released into the vicinity of the donor plants, including their rhizosphere soil either by the root exudation, rainfall leachates, volatilization from the plant parts or decomposition processes of plant residues [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Several investigations in field conditions showed that S. canadensis reduced the number and biodiversity of the native plant community in its invaded ranges [ 50 ]. The invasion level of S. canadensis correlated negatively with the taxonomic diversity of the native plant community, and positively with the invasibility of the community [ 51 ].…”

Solidago canadensis L. and Solidago altissima L. are native to North America and have naturalized many other continents including Europa and Asia. Their species is an aggressive colonizer and forms thick monospecific stands. The evidence of the allelopathy for S. canadensis and S. altissima has accumulated in the literature since the late 20th century. The root exudates, extracts, essential oil and rhizosphere soil of S. canadensis suppressed the germination, growth and the arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of several plants, including native plant species. Allelochemicals such as fatty acids, terpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols and their related compounds were identified in the extracts and essential oil of S. canadensis. The concentrations of total phenolics, total flavonoids and total saponins in the rhizosphere soil of S. canadensis obtained from the invasive ranges were greater than those from the native ranges. Allelochemicals such as terpenes, flavonoids, polyacetylene and phenols were also identified in the extracts, essential oil and the rhizosphere soil in S. altissima. Among the identified allelochemicals of S. altissima, the cis-dehydromatricaria ester may be involved in the allelopathy considering its growth inhibitory activity and its concentration in the rhizosphere soil. Therefore, the allelopathy of S. canadensis and S. altissima may support their invasiveness, naturalization and formation of thick monospecific stands. This is the first review article focusing on the allelopathy of both of S. canadensis and S. altissima.

“…In places dominated by S. canadensis, reduction in plant species diversity can be as high as 60% [de Groot et al 2007]. This is especially true of annual species and perennials [Bielecka et al 2020]. The invasion of goldenrod as a species alien to the native flora is favoured by external factors, such as fragmentation of ecosystems and abandonment of arable land cultivation, as well as modification or degradation of habitats.…”

“…The presence of goldenrod causes an increase in the organic carbon content in the soil, but it does not significantly affect the nitrogen content. As a result, it causes an increase in the soil's C/N ratio compared to the control sites [Vanderhoeven et al 2006;Bielecka et al 2020]; an increase in the C/N value in the soil is one of the symptoms of soil degradation [Baran, Turski 1996]. The presence of S. canadensis in the environment may contribute to the formation of new taxa; in Europe, the formation of the Solidago × Niederederi hybrid, which arises from the crossing of goldenrod S. canadensis with goldenrod S. virgaurea, has been reported.…”

Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) is classified as an invasive plant species in many Eurasian countries. The species shows a great ability to environmentally spread in a variety of habitats, anthropogenic ones included. Based on the literature data, the paper discusses the negative effects of the presence of S. canadensis in the environment, including the reduction of biodiversity in plants and some species of insects and insectivorous birds. The occurrence of goldenrod clusters also contributes to soil degradation. Positive aspects related to the presence of S. canadensis are also discussed in the paper. Goldenrod can be used in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals and as an energy plant. Its extracts are effective in controlling the bloom of some algae in water reservoirs and in fighting fungal and bacterial diseases in plants. Goldenrod inflorescences’ abounding nectar allows for the efficient harvesting of honey. Both the inflorescences and the leaves of the plant are a valuable herbal raw material with a wide spectrum of activity, including its impact on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. For these reasons, goldenrod deserves special attention in environmental research.

“…With economic globalization, alien plant invasion has become an important ecological problem. Numerous studies found that invasive plants typically show high net primary productivity and can change aboveground vegetation community structures, thus affecting the quantity and quality of soil carbon input [ 1 , 2 ], and subsequent changes in soil respiration may affect carbon pools (e.g., regarding carbon sequestration and carbon input) [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Therefore, plant invasion markedly affects the global carbon cycle.…”

Canada Goldenrod Invasion Regulates the Effects of Soil Moisture on Soil Respiration

Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) is considered one of the most deleterious and invasive species worldwide, and invasion of riparian wetlands by S. canadensis can reduce vegetation diversity and alter soil nutrient cycling. However, little is known about how S. canadensis invasion affects soil carbon cycle processes, such as soil respiration, in a riparian wetland. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different degrees of S. canadensis invasion on soil respiration under different moisture conditions. Soil respiration rate (heterotrophic and autotrophic respiration) was measured using a closed-chamber method. S. canadensis invasion considerably reduced soil respiration under all moisture conditions. The inhibition effect on autotrophic respiration was higher than that on heterotrophic respiration. The water level gradient affects the soil autotrophic respiration, thereby affecting the soil respiration rate. The changes in soil respiration may be related to the alteration in the effective substrate of the soil substrate induced by the invasion of S. canadensis. While the effects of S. canadensis invasion were regulated by the fluctuation in moisture conditions. Our results implied that S. canadensis invasion could reduce the soil respiration, which further potentially affect the carbon sequestration in the riparian wetlands. Thus, the present study provided a reference for predicting the dynamics of carbon cycling during S. canadensis invasion and constituted a scientific basis for the sustainable development and management of riparian wetlands invaded by alien plants.
