Main focus: Eco-physiology of invasive plant (Mikania micrantha)

How, when and from where did the plant arrive in India? (Reconstruction of introduction pathways)

What is the present distribution of the species in a urban locality like Kolkata? (Mapping present distribution in the study area)

How does it establish and survive? (Phenoplaticity of traits)

How does it reproduce vegetatively to maintain its population? (Analysis of Relative Growth Rate)

How does it reproduce sexually to maintain its population? (Analysis of sexual reproduction and seed germination)

Its impact on resident plant community (Analysis of community composition)

Is it spreading within the city and the country? (Bio-geographical analysis)

Its potential distribution and identification of invasion hotspots (Species Distribution Modelling)
