Invasive Spartina alterniflora in controlled cultivation: Environmental implications of converging future technologies

Invasive species have become a major threat to ecosystem stability, diversity and sustainability in recent times. Invasive plants such as Spartina alterniflora (SA), outgrow resident flora by rapidly utilizing essential soil nutrients depriving the native plant species, impacting the ecosystem diver...

SA is also notorious for its effect on local biodiversity as it grows and spreads faster, ultimately dominating local biodiversity.
