Chinese researchers have discovered that the plant community showed higher sensitivity to plant invasions than the soil microbial and fauna communities on tropical coral islands. Plant invasion is a major factor leading to the degradation of indigenous vegetation on tropical coral islands, where ecosystems are more fragile. Compared with continents, island forest ecosystems have lower biodiversity and simpler biological community structures which can lead to larger-scale harm brought by plant invasions.
