Abstract:This study aims to conduct a thorough investigation into the current situation of alien invasive plants in Huanggang Yiaihu National Wetland Park, based on field investigation of 12 sampling transects, we analyzed species composition, flora characteristics, origins, introduction pathways and hazard degree of alien plants in Huanggang Yiaihu National Wetland Park, Hubei ProvinceThe result showed that a total of 47 alien invasive plant species were discovered in Yiaihu National Wetland Park, belonging to 22 families and 35 genera. Among them, the Composite family boasts the largest number of species, totaling 13, accounting for 27.66% of the total number of alien invasive plants.In terms of origin, plants from the Americas are the main source, with 30 species accounting for 63.82%. Regarding the distribution types of families and genera, worldwide distribution, pantropical distribution, and north temperate distribution are particularly prominent. Herbaceous plants dominate the growth types, accounting for a high proportion of 95.74%.Intentional introduction and natural spread are the primary invasion pathways. According to the hazard degree, 23 of the 47 alien invasive plants fell within the low-risk levels (Ⅳ, Ⅴ), posing minimal harm. However, 18 invasive alien plants were categorized as high risk (Ⅰ, Ⅱ).Human disturbance and complex habitat characteristics of the wetland itself are the main reasons that determine the composition and invasion hazards of alien plants in lake wetlands in city. Thus, we recommend prioritizing the prevention and control measures for these high-risk alien invasive plants to minimize threats to the ecological security of this wetland park.
