Trait Interations Help Explain Plant Invasion Success in the German Flora

Relationships between 40 traits and plant invasion success in Germany are analyzed. General linear models are used to analyse the effect of traits on the grid cell frequency of species. While the amount of variation explained increases from single to multiple trait analysis, a fairly large part rema...

description Relationships between 40 traits and plant invasion success in Germany are analyzed. General linear models are used to analyse the effect of traits on the grid cell frequency of species. While the amount of variation explained increases from single to multiple trait analysis, a fairly large part remains unexplained. Analysis does indicate that to disentangle the link between primary biological traits and invasion success it is necessary to consider that traits potentially interact. Results support the hypothesis that different ecological strategies can facilitate invasion success and show that particular trait combinations correlate with invasion success. Improved explanatory power of traits with new approach can provide an important step forward in the risk assessment and management of new arrivals in regional floras.
