When an invasive plant species colonizes a disturbed but nutrient-poor habitat, which mechanism can significantly accelerate its population?

💡 Explanation

Allelopathy causes this because plants release chemicals to inhibit surrounding vegetation and scavenge local resources that fertilize the soil at a new rate, therefore helping their own seedlings, rather than defensive compound production because the environment is nutrient-constrained.
