“…obs.). More notorious is the case of Mirabilis jalapa, a well-established species in southeastern and Levantine territories of Spain (Mateo & Crespo 1990;Dana et al 2001) Groves & di Castri 1991;Weber et al 1998) although they exhibit no invasive behaviour in other areas with great environmental similarities ). These differences in the invasive behaviour of a given species could be caused by a multiplicity of factors including historical events, propagule pressure, and slight differences in numerous biotic and non-biotic parameters (Williamson 1996).…”

The alien plant species and the ecological factors that facilitate their invasion to a coastal strip in the Baix Camp region (Tarragona, NE Spain) were studied. A detailed inventory of the area showed that 20% of the plant species, most of them from the American Continent, were aliens, many of which were strongly invasive.At the habitat level, the relationships between the invasive behaviour and a number of autecological, ecological and habitat variables were analysed by means of logistic analyses. In the best model five variables were related to alien plant invasions: climatic affinity, disturbance of the invaded habitat, route of introduction, soil moisture during summer, and life form. To elucidate the environmental factors that could be responsible for alien plant invasions at a regional scale, the number of alien taxa and the environmental features at 13 localities of the western Mediterranean area were analysed. The warm lowlands, subjected to low annual rainfall and high population density, exhibited the greatest reception capacity for alien plants.It is concluded that various specific environmental features -high mean temperatures, the abundance of riparian systems, the existence of biotopes with favourable water balance which harbour a great richness of alien species and the high human pressure to which the enclave is subjected, combined with the ecological requirements of the alien species and certain species attributes (biotype) can interact at different scales and have caused the over-representation of alien plants.

“…According to the bibliography, the honey locust was introduced in the Pampean ecoregion mainly as living hedge and as a source of timber, shade or shelter beds (Hudson et al 1918;Ghersa et al 2002;Tecco et al 2016;Zalba and Villamil 2002). Furthermore, the ornamental use of honey locust was also recognized as the first step of its introduction in Europe (Doroftei et al 2009;Dana et al 2001 Although in such cases humans may have promoted the establishment of honey locust, near urban areas it was not abundant, mainly because other species, such as eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp. ), silk-floss tree (Ceiba speciosa), 'ceibo' (Erythrina crista-galli) and 'omb u' (Phytolacca dioica), are preferred for ornamental purposes and as sources of shade (personal observation).…”

Invasion determinants of honey locust in agroecosystems of the Rolling Pampa, Argentina

The honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is one of the most aggressive tree invaders of savannas and grasslands worldwide. The objective of the study was to determine whether landscape elements could act as potential determinants on honey locust invasion of woodlots of an agricultural matrix of the Pampean ecoregion. Specifically, we assessed the effect of distance to the previously established woodlots, to corridors such as riparian habitats, railway terraces and roads, and the presence of livestock and land use through generalized linear models. The study was carried out in a rural area of the Exaltaci on de la Cruz Department of the Buenos Aires Province (34°19' S and 59°14' W), located in the Pampean ecoregion, in the Rolling Pampa complex, Argentina. In each woodlot, the presence or absence of honey locust and the number of individuals intercepted along line transects were recorded. Furthermore, the presence of cattle and the land use around the woodlot were registered. All woodlots were geo-positioned to calculate distances to landscape elements of interest. According to our results, the colonization capacity and the abundance of honey locust increases as distance to the nearest woodlot with the presence of the species decreases, suggesting that propagule pressure is a key factor for honey locust invasion. Also, cattle promote the increase in the abundance of the species in woodlots of the agricultural system studied. The probability of presence was also increased with the proximity to main roads and decreased with the proximity to the nearest human settlement. Our results highlight the importance of reducing the abundance of the species in invaded woodlots and cattle pathways and in case of moving animals from an invaded to a non-invaded area. It is also recommended to maintain animals in quarantine before transporting them in order to allow animals to eliminate honey locust seeds.

“…A record from Spain (1982, surroundings of roquetas del Mar, prov. Almeria; see Kunkel, 1982) has largely been overlooked so far (compare with Dana et al, 2001). The invasion history of Sclerophylax spinescens in the Canary Islands is rather well documented (Hansen, 1973;Hansen, 1975;Duvigneaud, 1979).…”
