Understanding the impact of rainfall variability on the ecophysiology of invasive plants in tropical grasslands is crucial for sustainable ecosystem management. Climate change alters rainfall patterns, which, in turn, may influence the functional traits and physiological responses of plants. Recent studies have explored how fluctuating precipitatio...

Prosopis juliflora and Leucaena leucocephala are notable examples of invasive woody plants that can spread throughout similar habitats in India. However, little is known about how these two species may interact with one another if future rainfall pattern shifts, which is particularly concerning. Recognizing the pivotal role of eco-physiological par...

Species that implement new home ranges and then multiply, proliferate, and endure there at the cost of their surroundings are said to be alien species. Anthropogenic activities are one of the most important reasons for the unheard changes to the dispersion of the world biota. Invasion of plants (as well as animals) has been significantly expanded i...

Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de wit, and Prosopis juliflora (Sw) DC, were introduced across the country due to their wide importance andthey are posing threat to native trees and ecosystem because of their wild and invasive nature. Therefore, study of their invasive featuresbecomes important during the current rainfall shift as India is witnessing...

Invasive alien plant species (IAPS) are considered to be an important driver of global change in biodiversity, community structure, and ecosystem processes of the invaded ecosystem, fundamental to human well-being (access to secure livelihoods, health, good social relations, security and freedom). There isa lack of studies on IAPS, concerning its e...
