Features: Biological invasion is a hot topic in current ecological research. Based on the differences in the habitat conditions of the invasive plant Eupatoriumodoratum (airplane grass), this book analyzes its invasion mechanisms from multiple perspectives, including population distribution, morphological characteristics, age structure, biomass allocation, spatial structure, physiological and ecological traits, and secondary metabolites. It also studies the life history types of Eupatoriumodoratum and comprehensively examines the internal and external factors of its invasion, as well as the dialectical relationship between the environment and the population dynamics of Eupatoriumodoratum. For the first time, the theory of plant intelligence is applied to the study of Eupatoriumodoratum's invasion mechanisms. The book is divided into 10 chapters, elaborating on the significance of the growth environment of Eupatoriumodoratum to its invasion. It provides a theoretical foundation for further research on Eupatoriumodoratum, offers theoretical and technical support for its integrated management, and presents rationalized recommendations for environmental protection and management in areas where Eupatoriumodoratum occurs, such as Hainan. This book is suitable for researchers, educators, and graduate students in the fields of botany, ecology, agriculture, and pharmacology.
