The invention discloses a
diffusion traceability method for external invasive plants by using stable isotopes. The
diffusion traceability method comprises the steps of external invasive
plant traceability analysis and external invasive
plant diffusion risk identification. Wherein the alien invasive
plant traceability analysis comprises the steps of S1, plant
sample collection, S2, sample pretreatment, S3, stable
isotope determination, and S4, analysis of a diffusion source and a diffusion path of an alien invasive plant; the alien invasive plant diffusion
risk identification comprises the steps of P1, constructing a diffusion network of alien invasive plants and P2, identifying a diffusion
risk area. According to the method, by measuring the
stable isotope ratio of the plants in the new introduction site and the
potential source site and combining a multi-
dimensional analysis method, the source and diffusion path of the alien invasive plants are traced, and the traceability precision is high; compared with a traditional
gene analysis method, the method has the advantages that the cost is lower, the experiment efficiency is higher, and the traceability cost can be remarkably reduced.
