| Abstract | Exotic plant invasion is an urgent issue occurring in the biosphere, which can be stimulated by environmental nitrogen (N) loading. However, the allocation and assimilation of soil N sources between leaves and roots remain undear for plants in invaded ecosystems, which hampers the understanding of mechanisms behind the expansion of invasive plants and the co-existence of native plants. This work established a new framework to use N concentrations and isotopes of soils, roots, and leaves to quantitatively decipher infra-plant N allocation and assimilation among plant species under no invasion and under the invasion of Chromolaena odorata and Ageratina adenophora in a tropical ecosystem of SW China. We found that the assimilation of N derived from both soil ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) were higher in leaves than in roots for invasive plants, leading to higher leaf N levels than native plants. Compared with the same species under no invasion, most native plants under invasion showed higher N concentrations and NH4+ assimilations in both leaves and roots, and increases in leaf N were higher than in root N for native plants under invasion. These results inform that preferential N allocation, dominated by NH4+-derived N. to leaves over roots as an important N-use strategy for plant invasion and co-existence in the studied tropical ecosystem.
