Abstract

Conyza sumatrensis is an exotic species in China, and it has affected the biodiversity, composition, structure and stability of native communities. The interspecific association of 12 primary species in native community invaded by C. sumatrensis and its’ stability were analyzed by Variance ratio, χ2 test and Jaccard index based on 2×2 contingency table and improved Godron M.’s measure, in the area of Shangrao City. The results showed that: (1) The whole native community not invaded by C. sumatrensis appears positive association. There are lots of positive association species-pairs, and also exist highly significant positive association species-pairs in the community. (2) The whole native community invaded by C. sumatrensis appears negative association, and significant negative association species-pairs appear in the community. The number of positive association species-pairs reduces sharply compared with before this, and lots of significant positive association species-pairs disappear. The competition of species increases in the invaded native community, and some species can not exist stably in disadvantage niche because of their weak competition. (3) Some species with close relation in local community are divided into two different ecological groups after C. sumatrensis invaded. (4) The stability of the native community reduces because of C. sumatrensis’s attack, 16 species in native community disappear gradually and 4 new species appear.
