Mikania micrantha Humboldt, Bonpland and Kunth, or mile-a minute vine, is an extremely fast-growing plant that occurs worldwide. The plant originated in South and Central America and invaded Guangdong Province in the 1980s ( Li et al., 2006 ).
Mikania micrantha has been shown to benefit from biotic release from competitive neighbours through allelopathy (Kaur and Malhotra, 2012, Wu et al., 2009), by changing soil properties and microbial community organization (Li et al., 2006), and by altering its structural and physiological traits (Hu and Li, 2014, Song et al., 2009). Its competitive ability to overcome the biotic barriers in.

APFISN is a cooperative alliance of the 33 member countries in the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) - a statutory body of the Food and Agricultural.
