Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Cabomba invaded slow flowing waters with silt substrates, especially nutrient rich waters.
- Observation Suitable water depth for Cabomba was 0.4-1.2 m.
- Observation Cabomba was dominant or codominant in most investigated communities.
- Association Cabomba dominance was negatively correlated with total species richness.
- Association Cabomba biomass correlated positively with water transparency.
- Association Cabomba biomass was negatively related to dissolved oxygen.
- Association Cabomba dominance was negatively related to dissolved oxygen.
- Observation Spatz similarity coefficients were mostly 15%-40% among 19 communities.
- Observation Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrilla verticillata and Vallisneria natans were main codominants.
- Association Cabomba dominance was negatively correlated with H. verticillata.
- Association Cabomba dominance was negatively correlated with V. natans.
- Mechanism Cabomba spread rapidly via adaptation and vegetative spread.
- Observation Communities dominated by three native species were considered easily invasible by Cabomba.
- Recommendation The authors call for research to control Cabomba spread in China.
