• Increased competitive ability and herbivory tolerance in the invasive plant Sapium sebiferum (2008, background): “Indeed, invasive plants often have greater relative growth rate, higher net CO2 assimilation, and more biomass allocated from root to shoot and photosynthetic tissues when they were competing with other species (e.g., Pattison et al. 1998; Smith and Knapp 2001; Grotkopp et al. 2002; McDowell 2002) o”
