Popis: | International audience; There is need for documenting the long-term effects of plant invasions at the landscape scale. We investigated the possible catalytic effect of invasive Acacia mearnsii De Wild. on the colonization of rural landscapes by native plant species on Reunion Island (Mascarene Archipelago, Indian Ocean). Data were recorded from 182 circular plots of 50 m2 within a set of 48 large invasion patches, aged from 1 to 48+ years. Only eighteen native plant species were present in the invaded patches and these in only 21 of the 48 patches. The Acacia invasion patches colonized by native flora were older and closer to the closest forest remnant. Most invasion patches colonized by native species were located |
