The Adaptive Capacity of Alien and Rare Species in China

Alien and rare plants tend to adapt contrasting biotic abiotic conditions. However, adaptability assessments of alien using biological habitat characteristics in stressful disturbed environments are limited. We collected demonstrated the assessed adaptive capacity China analytic hierarchy process. Biological characteristics, such as dispersal strategy, sexual asexual reproduction modes, life form, (e.g., type distribution spatial extent), important indicators environments. have a higher than plants, while plants.
