“Introduction Biological invasions by alien species are widely recognized as a significant component of human-caused global environmental change. Invasive alien plant species may profoundly alter ecosystem structure, resulting in significant losses in the economy, and in the biological diversity and function of invaded ecosystems, and thus are of great concern to both ecologists and economists (Elton 1958; Lonsdale 1999; Pimentel et al. 2000; Meyerson and Mooney 2007). The stages in the invasion process of alien plants are complex and the processes represent a continuum. Naturalization is a fundamental precondition for plant invasion.
