Spatial Variation in Allelopathic Potential of Solidago Canadensis Across Six Sites

Data from 18 invaded quadrats across six sites examines the allelopathic potential of Solidago canadensis leaf and root extracts using a Raphanus sativus bioassay. The dataset analyzes associations among invasion intensity, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, soil abiotic properties, and plant chemistry. It was authored by Huan Mei and last updated on 2026-05-07.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between soil abiotic properties and allelochemical production based on described correlations.
• Analyzing spatial heterogeneity in plant chemistry and allelopathic strength across different invaded sites.
• Investigating the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community metrics in mediating plant invasion success.
• Correlating leaf and root chemical profiles (e.g., phenols and flavonoids) with bioassay inhibition results.

Strengths

• Data is derived from 18 sampled quadrats across six distinct geographic locations.
• Analysis includes multiple measured factors: AMF communities, soil properties, plant chemistry, and bioassay results.
• Dataset employs partial least squares path modeling to test a hypothesized plant-soil interaction framework.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is contained in a 1.9 MB DOC file, which may require conversion or parsing for analysis.
