| Abstract | Both innate and evolutionarily increased ecophysiological advantages can contribute to vigorous growth, and eventually to invasiveness of alien plants. Little effort has been made to explore the roles of innate factors of alien plants in invasiveness and the effects of CO2 enrichment on alien plant invasions. To address these problems, we compared invasive Eupatorium adenophorum, its native conspecific, and a native congener (E. japonicum) under ambient and doubled atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Native E. adenophorum from Mexico grew slower than invasive E. adenophorum but faster than native E. japonicum under both CO2 concentrations. The faster growth rate of invasive E. adenophorum was associated with higher photosynthetic capacity and leaf area ratio. For invasive E. adenophorum, the higher photosynthetic capacity was associated with higher nitrogen (N) allocation to photosynthesis, which was related to lower leaf mass per area; the higher leaf area ratio was due to lower leaf mass per area and higher leaf mass fraction. Tradeoff between N allocations to photosynthesis versus defenses was found. CO2 enrichment significantly increased relative growth rate and biomass accumulation by increasing actual photosynthetic rate for all studied materials. However, the relative increase in growth was not significantly different among them. CO2 enrichment did not influence N allocation to photosynthesis, but increased N allocation to cell walls. The reduced leaf N content decreased N content in photosynthesis, explaining the down-regulation of photosynthetic capacity under prolonged elevated CO2 concentration. Our results indicate that both innate and evolutionary advantages in growth and related ecophysiological traits contribute to invasiveness of invasive E. adenophorum, and CO2 enrichment may not aggravate E. adenophroum’s invasion in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
