“…In this sense, studies on invasive plants (e.g., Giljohann et al, 2011;Tererai & Wood, 2014;Fernández & Hamilton, 2015;Wang et al, 2016a) allow to identify their potential areas of occupation and therefore focus on their control. On another hand, studies on rare plants (e.g., Williams et al, 2009;Marcer et al, 2013;McCune, 2016;Vroh et al, 2016;Tang et al, 2017) or threatened plants (e.g., Adhikari et al, 2012;Aguirre-Gutiérrez et al, 2015;Hassemer et al, 2016;Sántiz et al, 2016) facilitate to identify and predict the most suitable habitats for these species, determine their degree of protection linked to protected areas networks, and even to design possible reintroductions. Finally, habitat studies (e.g., Feeley, 2012; Amici et al, 2014) allow to evaluate potential distribution changes of species and to devote efforts in their mitigation.…”
