Getting the right traits: reproductive and dispersal characteristics predict the invasiveness of herbaceous plant species.

Getting the right traits: reproductive and dispersal characteristics predict the invasiveness of herbaceous plant species.

To better understand the effect of species traits on plant invasion, we collected comparative data on 20 reproductive and dispersal traits of 93 herbaceous alien species in the Czech Republic, central Europe, introduced after 1500 A. D. We explain plant invasion success, expressed by two measures: i...
