Biotic homogenization of Central European urban floras depends on residence time of alien species and habitat types

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Spread of alien species may result in biotic homogenization, i.e. increasing similarity between biotas of different areas. We examined whether the flora of Central European cities is becoming homogenized because of the spread of alien species, whether the contribution of aliens to homogenization depends on residence time, and whether habitats under more intense human pressure are more homogenized. Using floristic...
