Rapid bamboo invasion (expansion) and its effects on biodiversity and soil processes +

Bamboo is an important forest resource in many countries that serves as an excellent substitute for timber products and provides a multitude of other food and non-food uses. This societal and economic significance has led to increased bamboo cultivation globally. This review describes the rapid expa...

description Bamboo is an important forest resource in many countries that serves as an excellent substitute for timber products and provides a multitude of other food and non-food uses. This societal and economic significance has led to increased bamboo cultivation globally. This review describes the rapid expansion of bamboo hectarage, both intentional and by encroachment, in native and non-native countries. Also presented are details of the influence of bamboo invasion on biodiversity and soil processes as well as potential ecological risk. Finally, we suggest some strategies for controlling bamboo invasion and needs for further research. Keywords: Biological invasion, Ecological risk, Environmental degradation, Monoculture
