Novel Weapons Hypothesis (NWH) suggests that invasive plant species can potentially out-compete native species due to their allelopathic (phototoxic and/or antimicrobial) chemicals. This use of “novel weapons” is usually thought of as a form of competition due to its potential to degrade the metabolism of neighboring plant species.
