Abiotic factors, rather than biotic resistance, inhibit the colonization success of a non-native submerged aquatic plant across spatial scales
Key Points
Colonization success is primarily inhibited by abiotic factors rather than biotic resistance, affecting non-native submerged aquatic plants' spread.
Key evidence shows that the influence of abiotic factors was significant across different spatial scales studied.
Analysis involved assessing environmental conditions impacting colonization success of invasive aquatic species across various habitats.
Findings highlight the importance of understanding abiotic influences for managing non-native submerged plant species effectively.
