Evaluating Plant Invasions from Both Habitat and Species Perspectives
—We present an approach to quantitatively assess nonnative plant invasions at landscape scales from both habitat and species perspectives. Our case study included 34 nonnative species found in 142 plots (0.1 ha) in 14 vegeta-tion types within the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, Utah. A plot invasion index, based on nonnative species richness and cover, showed that only 16 of 142 pl...
متن کاملOf Asian Forests and European Fields: Eastern U.S. Plant Invasions in a Global Floristic Context
BACKGROUND Biogeographic patterns of species invasions hold important clues to solving the recalcitrant 'who', 'where', and 'why' questions of invasion biology, but the few existing studies make no attempt to distinguish alien floras (all non-native occurrences) from invasive floras (rapidly spreading species of significant management concern), nor have invasion biologists asked whether particu...
متن کاملExamining Floristic Boundaries between Garden Types at the Global Scale
Gardens represent important sources of goods and services for their owners. This functionality translates directly into the types of plants cultivated in a given garden, and terminology has been developed to distinguish each category of garden according to its purpose. The factors explaining the differentiation and distribution of gardens have not previously been explored at the global scale. I...
متن کاملFloristic participation at LifeCLEF 2016 Plant Identification Task
This paper describes the participation of the Floristic consortium to the LifeCLEF 2016 plant identification challenge[18]. The aim of the task was to produce a list of relevant species for a large set of plant images related to 1000 species of trees, herbs and ferns living in Western Europe, knowing that some of these images belonged to unseen categories in the training set like plant species ...
متن کاملVertical and Horizontal Vegetation Structure across Natural and Modified Habitat Types at Mount Kilimanjaro
In most habitats, vegetation provides the main structure of the environment. This complexity can facilitate biodiversity and ecosystem services. Therefore, measures of vegetation structure can serve as indicators in ecosystem management. However, many structural measures are laborious and require expert knowledge. Here, we used consistent and convenient measures to assess vegetation structure o...
