Invasive vs. naturalized

Posted by jformanorth on 22 Oct 2007 at 01:50 GMT

The authors state: "Although we did not detect any species displaying invasive behavior within the urban perimeter..."

Is the phrase "invasive behavior" referring to the analysis of naturalization described in the Methods, or to some other determination of invasiveness? If it is the latter, could you please describe how you determined whether plants were displaying invasive behavior?

Invasive refers to long distance, dispersal and abundant regeneration or dominance.
