摘要： The competitive ability of invasive plants is a key factor in their successful invasion, and research on this ability of invasive plants can provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of invasive plants. This study used Cuscuta australis, Xanthium spinosum, and Xanthium italicum as research materials and conducted outdoor controlled pot experiments to compare and study the changes in the biomass, competitiveness, and growth cycle of X. spinosum and X. italicum parasitized by C. australis at different growth stages. The results showed that (1) parasitism by C. australis increased the biomass of X. spinosum and decreased that of X. italicum, but under parasitism, the root cap ratio of X. spinosum and X. italicum increased, and the fruit biomass ratio decreased, indicating that X. spinosum and X. italicum reduced the energy input for reproduction and increased the energy input for nutrient growth to resist the impact of C. australis parasitism; (2) the relative competitive intensity calculated based on the total biomass of a single plant showed a negative value for X. spinosum during parasitism at the flowering and fruit stages, indicating an increase in competitive ability, and X. italicum showed a positive value during parasitism at the seedling and flowering stages, indicating a decrease in competitive ability; and (3) the parasitism of C. australis significantly shortened the fruit stage of X. spinosum and X. italicum, leading to a significant advance in their flowering, fruiting, and fruit ripening times. Simultaneously, it significantly reduced the morphological indicators of biomass, plant height, and crown width. Thus, C. australis parasitism has a certain inhibitory effect on the competitive ability of some invasive plants and can shorten their growth cycle, the latter of which has an important impact on their reproduction and diffusion.
