This dataset provides the Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) database, version 1.2. GloNAF represents a data compendium on occurrence and identity of naturalized alien vascular plant taxa across geographic regions (e.g. countries, states, provinces, districts, islands) around globe. The includes 13,939 covers 1,029 (including 381 islands). is based 210 sources. For each taxon-by-region combination, we provide information whether taxon considered to be in specific region (i.e. has...
Abstract Aim To examine the different uses and perceptions of introduced Australian acacias (wattles; Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae ) by rural households communities. Location Eighteen landscape‐scale case studies around world, in Vietnam, India, Réunion, Madagascar, South Africa, Congo, Niger, Ethiopia, Israel, France, Portugal, Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic Hawai‘i. Methods Qualitative comparison studies, based on questionnaire sent to network acacia researchers. Information individual...
Abstract Aim Many Australian Acacia species have been planted around the world, some are highly valued, invasive, and both valued invasive. We review global efforts to minimize risk limit impact of invasions in this widely used plant group. Location Global. Methods Using information from literature sources, knowledge experience authors, responses a questionnaire sent experts we reviewed: (1) generalized life cycle acacias how control each stage, (2) different management approaches (3) what...
Sustainably managed non-native trees deliver economic and societal benefits with limited risk of spread to adjoining areas. However, some plantations have launched invasions that cause substantial damage biodiversity ecosystem services, while others pose threats causing such impacts. The challenge is maximise the trees, minimising negative impacts preserving future options. A workshop was held in 2019 develop global guidelines for sustainable use using Council Europe – Bern Convention Code...
Abstract A large number of non‐native trees (NNTs) have been introduced globally and widely planted, contributing significantly to the world's economy. Although some these species present a limited risk spreading beyond their planting sites, growing NNTs are becoming invasive leading diverse negative impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions human well‐being. To help minimize maximize economic benefits NNTs, Brundu et al. developed eight guidelines for sustainable use globally—the Global...
Abstract Aim To define the bioclimatic tolerance ranges of two Tabor oak subspecies. Prior to this definition, and considering confusion in literature regarding subspecies geography, a reassessment their present distribution is proposed. Location Turkey Levant. Methods The range each was characterized by four parameters: (1) humidity category ( Q 2 ), (2) winter variant m ) – basic variables used Emberger's method for definition Mediterranean bioclimates, (3) length dry season (LDS) (4) its...
Prevention (of invasion) is the most efficient strategy to control invasive alien plants (IAPs). This requires that potentially plant taxa not yet introduced into regions where they could become are identified as early possible. Therefore, alongside best known and already widespread IAPs it crucial highlight highly whose distribution still limited. It becomes even more important consider those when some recommended ornamental/useful species outside their native range. paper provides six...
The significance of the dense sclerophyllous oak forests (DSOFs) in vegetal landscape southeastern Mediterranean is addressed through a case study Carmel region (Israel), where most traditional land uses have declined past 50 years. A GIS-assisted analysis vegetation cover shows that proportion DSOFs area very restricted (8%) compared with their present landscapes northwestern Mediterranean. potential development future decades Levant considered. drought constraint, persistence some land-use...
