The main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the distribution and invasive status of non-native plant species in Italy, divided according to its administrative regions, biogeographic regions and land use types, and a synthesis of current knowledge on the impacts posed by these species within the country. More specific aims are: to present summarised information on the structure of Italian regional alien floras, to outline the main overall geographic patterns of plant invasion across Italy and to reveal the main large-scale environmental factors that influence the number of alien species in individual regions.

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the distribution and invasive status of non-native plant species in Italy, divided according to its administrative regions, biogeographic regions and land use types, and a synthesis of current knowledge on the impacts posed by these species within the country. More specific aims are: to present summarised information on the structure of Italian regional alien floras, to outline the main overall geographic patterns of plant invasion across Italy and to reveal the main large-scale environmental factors that influence the number of alien species in individual regions.File in questo prodotto:
