Abstract

Sulfur plays an important role in plant physiological processes functioning as one of the macro‐elements, but high soil sulfur is toxic to most of the plants. Exotic Spartina alterniflora, a blacklist invasive species in China, actively accumulates and stores sulfur in their tissues leading to high sulfide concentration in the invaded environment. Spartina alterniflora might be using high sulfur as a chemical tool in successful competition with indigenous species as e.g., Phragmites australis. As the supply of sulfur increases due to acid rain and rising sea levels, plant invasions will likely become more problematic around the world.
