Notes

• Knotweed excludes native ground vegetation
• Nitrogen recovery from stems to roots at the end of the growing season is extremely efficient (70%) compared to 5-33% in native vegetation.
• Knotweed litter has a higher C:N ratio of 50:1 compared to 30-40:1 among native trees, while fresh leaves have a high C:N ratio (~13:1)
