“…Soil organic matter and plant available nitrate levels were nonetheless similar for both ranges. Rosa rugosa furthermore significantly increased plant available P and reduced plant available Mg, which is in accordance with the results of Stefanowicz et al (2019), but contradicts those of Dassonville et al (2008). These soil effects were nonetheless not responsible for the observed shifts in trait composition.…”

Alien plant species invasiveness and impact on diversity (i.e. species richness and composition) can be driven by the altered competitive interactions experienced by the invader in its invaded range compared to its native range. Trait-based competition effects on invasiveness can be mediated through size-asymmetric competition, i.e. a trait suit of the invader that drives competitive dominance, and through 'niche differences', i.e. trait differentiation and thus minimized competition between invader and the invaded community. In terms of invasion impact, size-asymmetric competition is expected to result in competitive exclusion of co-occurring subordinate species, whereas 'niche differences' might result in competitive exclusion of the most functionally similar co-occurring species. Although observational work does not allow the full disentanglement of both trait-based effects, it does allow to verify the occurrence of expected theoretical trait patters. In this study, we explored the trait-based competition effects on invasiveness and diversity impact for Rosa rugosa in both its invaded range in Belgium and its native range in Japan, based on seven functional traits across 100 vegetation plots. Following the predictions for enhanced invasiveness, we found much lower functional overlap between R. rugosa and the co-occurring species in the invaded range compared to the native range. This likely also explains the absence of diversity impact in its native range. Despite the absence of changes in species richness in the invaded range, the invader did strongly impact species composition of invaded communities. This impact occurred through strong shade tolerance responses, suggesting size-asymmetric competition effects and cover loss of co-occurring dominant species, next to exclusion of co-occurring species most functionally similar to the invader; suggesting niche difference effects. In conclusion, this case-study illustrates how exploring functional trait patterns across a species native and invaded range can help in understanding how trait-based competition processes can affect invasiveness and community impact.

“…Plant invasions can potentially alter the structure and function of recipient ecosystems, especially in coastal ecosystems [ 4 , 5 ]. Compared to native plants, invasive plants are characterized as having higher net primary productivity and litter input, thereby reducing growth, fitness and abundance of native species, as well as decreasing diversity of native plant communities [ 6 , 7 ]. Due to plants such as Alnus trabeculosa and Rosa rugosa having a rapid effect on local microbial communities, soil affected by invasive species may record an increase in soil bacterial diversity and soil nutrients [ 8 , 9 ].…”

The effects of Bidens alba invasion on soil bacterial communities across different coastal ecosystem land-use types in southern China

Environments in both biotic and abiotic ecosystems have been affected by the colonization of non-native flora. In this study, we examined the effect of Bidens alba invasion on different land-use types along a coastline in southern China. Bacterial communities in each site were determined using 16S rDNA sequencing, and soil physicochemical properties were analyzed using standard methods. Although our results indicated that B . alba invasion did not have a significant effect on the alpha diversity of bacteria, it caused significant differences in soil bacterial community composition between invaded and uninvaded soil across different land-use types. Beta diversity and several physicochemical properties in forest, orchard and waterfront environments were recorded to be more susceptible to B . alba invasion. A high proportion of the variation of bacterial communities can be explained by a combination of environmental variables, indicating that environmental selection rather than plant invasion is a more effective process in coastal microbial assemblages. By comparing topological roles of shared OTUs among invaded and uninvaded soil, keystone taxa in invaded soil were identified. Acidobacteria was the major phyla involved in the invasive process which could be driven by environmental selection. How key phyla react in our experiment should be verified by further studies.

“…This shrub forms impenetrable thickets, eliminating most other plants by shading, as well as hindering access (Isermann, 2008). Stefanowicz et al (2019) showed that R. rugosa invasion of sand dunes increases soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and phosphate, while the organic matter layer under the shrub is thicker, with higher pH and calcium. Reduced microbial activity is possibly linked to production of secondary metabolites, high phenolic concentrations being found in senescing R. rugosa leaves.…”

Increasing status of non-native vascular plants in the Sefton Coast sand-dune system, north Merseyside, UK

Over 460 non-native (alien) taxa were recorded in a Sefton Coast sand-dune vascular plant inventory, their proportion in the flora increasing after 1999. Between 2005/06 and 2018, twice as many non-native as native plants were found. An analysis of occurrences of native and non-native taxa in six major habitat types found that a higher proportion of aliens was present in scrub/woodland and disturbed ground, while native plants had more occurrences in fixed dunes/dune grasslands, dune heath and wetlands. No differences between the two groups were detected for strandline/shingle and embryo/mobile dune habitats. Twenty-four non-native and 14 native taxa showed invasive characteristics in the duneland. The former included especially Hippophae rhamnoides and Rosa rugosa, both constituting major threats to sand-dune biodiversity. Particularly invasive native plants were Arrhenatherum elatius, Betula spp., Salix cinerea, and Ulex europaea. The main findings accord with studies elsewhere in Britain and Europe showing recent increases of neophytes in semi-natural habitats and that both non-native and native species can have invasive traits. The open habitats of coastal dunes seem to be particularly susceptible to plant invasions.
