Climate Change Drives Divergent Potential Habitat Dynamics of Invasive and Native Noxious Asteraceae Weeds in Yunnan Grasslands
), suggesting that extreme warming may enable it to breach high-altitude barriers. Third, all three species show unimodal responses to human disturbance with species-specific optima. Overall, the invasive species, leveraging broad ecological amplitudes and strong adaptability, are poised for continued expansion of their potential suitable habitat, while the native species, constrained by a narrow niche and limited dispersal capacity, faces systemic habitat loss. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for differentiating management strategies between invasive and native problematic weeds in Yunnan grasslands.
