Discussion While the 90-day experimental period cannot fully capture the long-term dynamics of invasion processes, the short-term response patterns observed in this study remain highly significant.
philoxeroides presence exhibited a decreasing trend in RMF, root starch, NSC and nitrogen content of L. peploides , while no significant effect was observed on SRL (Fig. 2 g, i-l).
philoxeroides showed an increasing trend with the degree of invasion, while the opposite was true for L. peploides (Fig. 1 a, b).
