The invasion of Cassytha filiformis accelerated the litter decomposition of native plant communities in small tropical coral islands
Our results suggested that the invasion of C. filiformis accelerated litter mass loss and element release on coral islands by regulating litter quality and enzyme activity. However, the short-term rapid litter decomposition may result in nutrient loss, which is not conducive to the growth of native plants.
