Biological Invasion by Myrica faya Alters Ecosystem Development in Hawaii.

Vitousek PM, Walker LR, Whiteaker LD, Mueller-Dombois D, Matson PA.

Abstract

The exotic nitrogen-fixing tree Myrica faya invades young volcanic sites where the growth of native plants is limited by a lack of nitrogen. Myrica quadruples the amount of nitrogen entering certain sites and increases the overall biological availability of nitrogen, thereby altering the nature of ecosystem development after volcanic eruptions.
