South China Agricultural University completes analysis of factors affecting the geographic distribution of invasive organisms in China

Recently, South China Agricultural University Professor Lu Yongyue and Xu Yijuan team completed a research paper entitled " Factors affecting the geographical distribution of invasive species in China " in Journal of Integrative Agriculture (《Journal of Agricultural Sciences 》(English), JIA) will be published online first. This study analyzed the geographical distribution trend and driving factors of the invasive species in China.


In addition, this article also conducted a dynamic analysis of the spatial distribution of 13 major invasive insects in China before the reform and opening up, from 1979 to 2001, and since China’s accession to the World Trade Organization. Explore the impact of increasing international trade on the geographic distribution of invasive species in China. The results showed that the abundance of invasive species gradually decreased from south to north, from the southeast coast to inland. Guangdong Province (442 species) and Yunnan Province (404 species) have the highest abundance of invasive species. Among the 13 key invasive insects investigated, 3, 10, and 13 species appeared in 3 periods, and 7, 28, and 34 invaded provinces. Another analysis showed that foreign pests invaded China mainly through Xinjiang, Bohai Rim and Southeastern my country. Among all the factors, the value of import trade is a powerful predictor of the number of invasive species in China. Import trade value and temperature are the key factors that explain the spatial distribution of heterogeneity of invasive species abundance other than microorganisms. The research results provide a scientific basis for further international quarantine work and effective control of invasive species .

Research team introduction


The team of Professors Lu Yongyue, Xu Yizhuan, South China Agricultural University mainly used red fire ant, red mulberry _span 2 Tanye and other important alien invasive pests in southern China have been conducting research on biology, ecology, spreading, quarantine and pest control, monitoring and testing, prevention and control theory and applied technology.The team has undertaken more than 60 projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Education, provincial local governments and other projects; 260 papers have been published in journals such as Microbiome , Current Biology , PLoS Pathogens , etc. Multiple articles, edited and participated in editing 11 works; obtained 5 scientific and technological achievements, more than 20 authorized patents and software copyrights, 1 film copyright, and compiled 10 national/industry/local standards. The completed results have won 19 various scientific and technological awards, including 1 second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, 1 first prize and 3 second prizes of the Guangdong Science and Technology Award.
