This photo was taken along the Jiaomen River in Nansha. If you follow this road straight ahead, you\u2019ll find a mangrove area. Home to over eight mangrove species\u2014including Sonneratia apetala<\/em>, Aegiceras corniculatum<\/em>, and Pongamia pinnata<\/em>\u2014the area also features two century-old Sonneratia apetala<\/em> trees, a rare and remarkable sight.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are examining Bidens pilosa<\/em>, a highly invasive alien species. This fast-growing plant aggressively outcompetes native vegetation by monopolizing critical resources\u2014including sunlight, soil moisture, nutrients, and beneficial insects in loose soil\u2014ultimately dominating vast areas of land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will conduct a special field visit to document Nansha’s unique vegetation through photos and detailed observations. The area boasts diverse mangrove species like Sonneratia apetala<\/em>, Aegiceras corniculatum<\/em>, and Pongamia pinnata<\/em>\u2014but also faces ecological challenges from invasive plants such as Bidens pilosa<\/em>. I\u2019ll share these findings in an upcoming article to highlight the region\u2019s rich biodiversity and conservation concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
