Human Impacts, Plant Invasion, and Imperiled Plant Species in California

Abstract: Invasive species are one of the fastest growing conservation problems. These species homogenize the world's flora and fauna, threaten rare and endemic species, and impose large economic costs. Here, we examine the distribution of 834 of the more than 1000 exotic plant taxa that have become established in California, USA. Total species richness increases with net primary productivity; however, the exotic flora is richest in low-lying coastal sites that harbor large numbers of imperiled species, while native div… Show more

“…the increasing wildland-urban interface in California, where houses intermingle with undeveloped vegetation (Radeloff et al, 2005). This interface represents not only habitat fragmentation but associated human habitation promotes the introduction of invasive alien species (Seabloom et al, 2006) and intensifies the severity of wildfire (Spyratos et al, 2007). Similarly, modifications of natural fire regimes is promoting the invasion of alien plant species (Keeley et al, 2005;Vogiatzakis et al, 2005) and altering successional trajectories of recovering plant communities (Franklin et al, 2005) in some mediterranean regions, while in the Chilean matorral, which is poorly adapted to fire, increasing numbers of anthropogenic fires are causing disruption to native plant species and communities (Montenegro et al, 2004).…”

“…The potential for increased invasion due to these time lags has been termed invasion debt (Bennett et al, 2013;Essl et al, 2011;Gilbert & Levine, 2013;Rouget et al, 2016;Seabloom et al, 2006), which consists of four phases: introduction, establishment, spread, and impact (Rouget et al, 2016). Invasion debt in this analysis focuses on potential establishment within the continental U.S. based on the current invasive species pool, and can be generated by species that have not yet spread to the full extent of their potential range or low infilling of the potential range.…”

“…For example, many oceanic island systems, including large archipelagos such as New Zealand and Hawaii, are now estimated to contain 100% more plant species than they did prior to human colonization (Sax and Gaines 2008). Continental regions such as California and South Africa have also experienced large increases in regional plant species richness (Macdonald and Richadson 1986, Sax 2002, Seabloom et al 2006. Such increases are not necessarily expressed at the local scale, however.…”
