Research Advances in Allelopathy of Plants in Wetland
Allelopathy of plants in wetland is of great significance for revealing the mechanism of plant species composition and distribution,community succession and biological invasion in wetland ecosystem.Based on the basic concept and variety/categories of allelopathy of plants in wetland and its means of release and action mechanisms,this paper discusses the main contents of current plants in wetland allelopathy researches from the following aspects:Allelopathic effects on species composition and community structure of plants in wetland.Allelopathic effects on the succession process of plant communities in wetland.Allelopathic effects on invasive processes of exotic plants.Application of allelopathy of plants in wetland ecological restoration.It is suggested that further optimization of research methods should be used to evaluate the allelopathic effects of plants in wetland and their results,and to study the effects of allelopathic effects on the processes of vegetation species composition and community structure succession under the changes of abiotic environmental conditions,and to strengthen the construction of natural chemical regulatory systems in the process of wetland ecological restoration.
