title: Opuntia Invasion Risk and Management Strategies in China: A Comprehensive Review Under Climate Change Scenarios
abstract: Including China, the genus Opuntia—prickly pear cactus—has expanded to be a quite problematic invading species in many other nations. Considering Opuntia's environmental impact, current policies, and recommendations for next control actions, this review assesses the possible distribution and invasion risk of the plant under climate change conditions. We investigate the species' present distribution in China, the biological traits allowing its proliferation, and the environmental elements driving
