• Invasive alien plants in China: role of clonality and geographical origin (2006, background): “China is the third largest country in the world in terms of territory and possesses mega-diversity of plant species with numerous invasive alien plant species (Xie et al. 2000).”
• Freshwater fish biodiversity in the Yangtze River basin of China: patterns, threats and conservation (2003, background): “Introduction of non-indigenous species by humans is also a serious threat to biodiversity in the basin ( Xie et al. 2001 ).”
• Introduction and use of non‐native species for aquaculture in China: status, risks and management solutions (2015, background): “However, China is vulnerable to establishment of non-native species (Yan et al. 2001).”
• Plant Biodiversity in China: Richly Varied, Endangered, and in Need of Conservation (2006, background): “Its incidence is especially severe in Yunnan, where it covers an area of 247,000 km(2) (Xie et al. 2001).”
• Fish and fisheries in the Upper Mekong: current assessment of the fish community, threats and conservation (2009, unknown): “declined from 25 in the 1940s, to 15 in 1978, and 8 in 1982 (Xie and Chen 1999; Xie et al. 2001) largely due to overfishing.”
• Predicting the spatial distribution of an invasive plant species (Eupatorium adenophorum) in China (2007, background): “It naturally spread into southern Yunnan province of China from Myanmar around the 1940s (Xie et al. 2001).”
• Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview (2015, background): “From Japan, P. clarkii was introduced to Nanjing, China in 1929 (Yan et al., 2001; Li et al., 2007) and has rapidly spread to most provinces of China, having established dense populations (Li et al., 2005).”
• Identifying the most noxious invasive plants in China: role of geographical origin, life form and means of introduction (2009, background): “Probably due to the various climates and environmental conditions in China, invasive plants are rather diverse in geographical origins, life-history traits, mechanisms of invasion, habitats to invade, and large scale distribution, which makes it difficult to get some general rules ( Xie et al. 2001 ”
• Global introductions of salmon and trout in the genus Oncorhynchus: 1870–2007 (2008, background): “Shortly afterward, rainbow trout were introduced from Korea (unreported origin, probably from the USA) to China primarily for aquaculture, but with resulting establishment of self-sustaining populations in more than a dozen Chinese provinces (Chyung 1977; Welcomme 1988; Tan and Tong 1989; Walker and”
• Invasive alien plants in China: diversity and ecological insights (2008, background): “Although plant introductions have a long history in China (Xie et al. 2001), large-scale introductions of species from other continents are a rather recent phenomenon and have probably not yet achieved the quantities of other regions in the world.”
