Altitudinal patterns illustrate the invasion mechanisms of alien plants in temperate mountain forests of northern China

2015-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Alien plant invasions usually cause economic and ecological losses. Currently, exotic plants have already appeared in the understory of mountain forests that are subjected to relatively less human disturbance and are often thought of as a safe shelter for most native plants. This study aims to explore invasions patterns and underlying mechanisms in the understory of Chinese mountain forests. Sixty-three quadrats o...
