Ecological Effects and Control Strategies of Spartina alterni-flora Invasion in Mangroves of China
Mangroves are important parts of the coastal wetland ecosystem.The invasive plant Spartina alter-niflora has spread to China including native plant communities such as mangroves,salt marshes and seagrass beds,as well as tidal flats through artificial introduction and natural spread,which poses a great threat to the health and stability of coastal wetland ecosystems.Since 2022,China has carried out large-scale S.alterniflo-ra eradicate work throughout the country.Mangroves located in the southern coastal wetlands are the key ar-eas for S.alterniflora removal.However,the current researches on the invasion mechanism of S.alterniflo-ra in mangroves are not systematic and in-depth.Most of the relevant research paradigms and control strate-gies are based on other types of coastal wetland ecosystems.This article summarizes the main ecological effects of S.alterniflora invasion into China's mangrove areas,as well as several major S.alterniflora con-trol strategies adopted in China's mangrove areas,and discusses the gaps and hotspots of S.alterniflora re-lated research in China's mangrove areas in the future,in order to provide reference for the prevention and control of S.alterniflora in China's mangrove areas and the ecological restoration and protection of man-groves.
