Informations on the 60 most important species of Compositae weeds.
Abstract
Biological invasion is a global ecological problem, and it is important to understand the mechanism of successful invasion for the prevention and control of invasive weeds. Based on my experience and expertise in ecology, I have observed a significant gap in the literature regarding Compositae weeds invasions, and aimed to address this gap. We searched the literature related to Compositae weeds invasions published after 2000 in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. A list of 60 major Compositae weeds that are widely invasive around the world, and five important reasons (reproductive strategies, ecological adaptations, genetic diversity, enemy release, and human activities) explored that could be responsible for the powerful invasiveness of Compositae weeds. We offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this field and present a different perspective that incorporates existing theories. A clear address about the aggressive invasiveness of invasive species belonging to Compositae, and proposing scientific prevention, control, and management strategies will help prevent further invasion around the world in the future.

1. Introduction
Invasive weed species pose a significant threat to global ecosystems and economy around the world [1]. Compositae weeds have been particularly successful at invading heterogeneous habitats, many species within this family have become invasive in various regions (Table 1, contains references [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61]), especially in agroecological zones and grassland areas [62, 63]. Here, we aim to explore the factors that contribute to the strong invasiveness of Compositae weeds. Several reasons for their success in invading new habitats will be discussed, including their reproductive strategies, ecological adaptations, genetic diversity, enemy release, and the impacts of human activities on their spread (Figure 1). Understanding these factors can aid in the development of effective management strategies for controlling the invasion of Compositae weeds.

Compositae weeds are recognized for their invasive tendencies, presenting significant challenges such as decreased biodiversity and habitat degradation [64]. These invasive plants possess traits like rapid growth, prolific seed production, and adaptability to various environmental conditions, which enable them to outcompete native vegetation and dominate ecosystems [65]. The spread of invasive Compositae weeds is facilitated by human activities, habitat disturbances, and the absence of natural predators in new habitats [66]. Effective control measures, including mechanical removal and targeted herbicide application, are essential to manage their invasion and safeguard native ecosystems from further disruption [67, 68].
Compositae weeds display a wide range of life forms, including annuals, biennials, and perennials [69]. They are characterized by their composite flower heads, which consist of multiple individual flowers on a single head [70]. Compositae weeds have become widely distributed around the world due to their excellent adaptability to different environments and their high reproduction rates [71]. As a result, many species within this family have been introduced to new areas, where they often outcompete and displace native species [72]. For example, Italian cocklebur (Figure 2). Understanding the reasons behind their invasiveness is crucial for effective management and conservation practices.
2. Methodology
The China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science search engines were used in the literature collection [73]. Only journal articles and reviews that were published English after 2000 in this study [74]. The search terms and strategies are as follows: TS = (“biological invasions*”) OR TI = (“Compositae/Asteraceae weeds*”) OR TI = (“strong invasiveness*”) OR TI = (“successful invasion*”) [75].
3. Reasons for the strong invasiveness of Compositae weeds
3.1 Reproductive strategies
One of the key factors contributing to the invasiveness of Compositae weeds is their unique reproductive strategies. Many species within this family produce large quantities of small, lightweight seeds that are easily dispersed over long distances by wind or water [76]. Additionally, their ability to asexual reproduction, self-pollinate, and insect pollination allows them to rapidly colonize new habitats [77]. These reproductive characteristics provide Compositae weeds with a competitive advantage, allowing them to establish and dominate over other native weed species. Such as
3.2 Ecological adaptations
Compositae weeds exhibit various ecological adaptations that contribute to their invasiveness. They are known for their ability to thrive in disturbed habitats, such as roadsides, fields, and forests. Their wide tolerance to different soil types, pH levels, and moisture conditions also enables them to occupy diverse ecological niches [78]. Furthermore, Compositae weeds often possess allelopathic compounds that inhibit the growth of neighboring weeds, further enhancing their ability to outcompete native species [79]. Such as
3.3 Genetic diversity
Genetic diversity plays a crucial role in the invasiveness of Compositae weeds. Species within this family often have high genetic variability, which allows them to adapt to new environments and overcome biotic and abiotic stresses [80]. This genetic diversity also increases the chances of hybridization and the formation of novel genotypes with increased invasiveness. Additionally, the presence of polyploid species within Compositae contributes to their ability to occupy new habitats and rapidly expand their range, such as
3.4 Enemy release
In their native range, Compositae weeds coexist with specialized herbivores, diseases, and pathogens, regulating their population growth [81]. However, when introduced to new geographic regions, they often escape from their natural enemies, enabling population growth without significant constraints. This lack of natural enemies can lead to uncontrolled proliferation and invasion of Compositae weeds, posing a threat to native biodiversity, such as
3.5 Human activities
Human activities such as agriculture, horticulture, and international trade have significantly facilitated the spread of Compositae weeds [82]. For example, their introduction as ornamental weeds has resulted in accidental escapes and subsequent invasions in many parts of the world. Furthermore, the disturbance of natural ecosystems through land clearing, urbanization, and climate change creates favorable conditions for the establishment and spread of invasive Compositae species [83]. Prevention measures to control their introduction and spread should be implemented to minimize their impact on native biodiversity, such as
4. Future management strategies of Compositae plant invasions
Effective management strategies for controlling invasive weeds typically involve a combination of prevention, early detection, eradication, and ongoing monitoring. Prevention efforts include implementing strict regulations on the importation and sale of potentially invasive Compositae species, as well as raising public awareness about the risks associated with introducing non-native Compositae plants into natural ecosystems [84].
Early detection is crucial for addressing invasive Compositae weeds before they become established and widespread. This involves training volunteers and professionals to identify invasive Compositae plants and implementing surveillance programs to quickly detect and respond to new invasions [85].
Eradication methods vary depending on the invasive Compositae species and the extent of the invasion but may include mechanical methods such as hand-pulling, mowing, or cutting, as well as chemical control methods like herbicide application. Biological control, using natural enemies such as insects or pathogens to suppress invasive Compositae weeds, can also be an effective long-term strategy when implemented carefully to minimize unintended consequences [86, 87, 88, 89].
Ongoing monitoring and management are essential to prevent the re-establishment and spread of invasive Compositae plants. This includes regular surveys to detect and treat new invasions, as well as restoration efforts to rehabilitate areas impacted by invasive weeds and promote the recovery of native plant communities [90].
Collaboration among government agencies, land managers, researchers, and the public is critical for successful invasive Compositae weeds management. By implementing integrated and adaptive management approaches, we can work toward reducing the impact of invasive Compositae weeds and preserving the health and biodiversity of our local ecosystems, especially in agricultural production areas [91].
5. Conclusions
Here, we present a list of the 60 most important Compositae invasive weeds around the world and discuss the reasons why they are so invasive. The aggressive invasiveness of Compositae weeds can be attributed to a combination of factors such as their reproductive strategies, ecological adaptations, genetic diversity, enemy release, and the influence of human activities. Understanding the mechanisms driving their invasiveness is essential for managing and controlling the spread of these species. Further research is needed to assess the impacts of different control measures and develop effective strategies to prevent the further spread of invasive Compositae weeds and protect native ecosystems.
