The alien flora of Brazilian Caatinga: deliberate introductions expand the contingent of potential invaders

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Alien floras have been examined at regional and continental scales, but the connections between the cause of introduction and the nature and invasiveness of alien floras remain poorly explored. This is despite the fact that initial introduction determines the alien species pool from which the invasion proceeds. Here we examine the profile of the alien flora of the Brazilian Caatinga, a semi-arid tropical vegetatio...
