Secondary invasion refers to the proliferation of non-target invaders following efforts to suppress or control dominant target invaders. It is common in invasive plant management in ecosystems that harbor multiple non-native species. To date, secondary invasion has become a serious obstacle to ecosystem recovery. However, little is known about the dynamics and potential mechanisms of secondary invasion.
