In this work, we analyse the role of climatic constraints in shaping the distribution of alien
plant species along the elevation gradient in the European Alps. Alien species occurrence …

Human-assisted introduction of alien plants is causing ecosystem transformations worldwide
and is considered an important threat to biodiversity. We provide a European assessment of …

Recent studies highlight the importance of selecting the appropriate scale and indices of
invasion level for evaluating the abundance and impact of alien plants. Our survey considers …

This paper aims to assess the importance of environmental and management factors
