Lythrum Salicaria

Background information Lythrum salicaria, commonly known as purple pearl vegetables, is an exotic wetland perennial plant introduced from Europe about 200 years ago. Plants are introduced as pollutants for the ballast of European ships and as precious herbs (Malecki, Blossey, Hight and Schroeder, 1993). Though these plants seem seemingly attractive, they cause many New York wetlands to deteriorate. They can produce so many seeds that they can grow up to one centimeter a day so they can eliminate native plants and reduce the food of wetland residents.

Lythrum Salicaria, commonly known as a purple pearl vegetable, belongs to the family Orchidaceae and consists of 25 genera and 550 species all over the world. Lythrum is made up of 35 species, two of which are located in North America Lythrum Purish is unique to Continental intrusive purple loaf. Due to hybrid breeding, purple roast stuff is rapidly refined on yarn, causing a decrease in native species. "The common name may be derived from the use of Greek cockroaches, blood, or flower colors as an astringent to stop blood flow" (Canadian Wildlife Federation 1993, 38) Purple Loosestrife, aggressive competition It is a powerful invasive weed, which usually grows to the height of humans, and when maturing it may be 5 meters wide. The plant stems are square and woody and can grow up to 50 cm in diameter.

The attitude toward purple pearl vegetables (Lythrum salicaria) highlights various conflicts in the management of invasive species. This species was brought into North America around 1800, spreading northeast slowly, became precious ornamental plants, widely distributed by beekeepers and horticulturists, now occurring in all 48 states in the United States. It is declared harmful in at least 15 states. Its adverse effect on wetland animals and plants is multifaceted, and this species is listed by Nature Conservancy as one of the "dirty" invasive species. Due to the declining population, the US Fish and Wildlife Service pays particular attention to special swampy birds (black terns, minimal bitter juice, American salt water, wetland W with long nose) and purple pearls Do not nest with vegetables. The experiment confirmed a local observation for the latter competition with L. salicaria of banana disappearance

In the near future, alien species may pose a threat to the reed population in the northeast. Lythrum salicaria slowly spreads to Virginia and may invade the northeast reed, especially after interfering with hydrological conditions and matrices. Lymantria dispar currently has a wide range of forests and adjacent land, but it is unknown whether gypsy moth will adversely affect reed population in northeastern China or how it will adversely affect.
