Invasive Species and their Naturalization and Distribution

Invasive species are one of the main causes of the decline of biodiversity, but also the cause of significant economic losses and damages. The research on invasive species are nowadays more numerous at the local (Croatian) as well at global scale. Recent researches on Croatian invasive flora are engaged in research of distribution and further expansion of these species in relation to abiotic and biotic factors. Furthermore, it is necessary to investigate the reasons why some alien species show a greater invasion potential than other alien species and to analyse which species show invasion potential into neighbouring countries, but not yet in Croatia. The expected results will contribute to a better understanding of the process of naturalization and distribution of alien species, determining potential of their invasiveness and may provide guidance for successful environmental management with the aim of timely observations of invasive species and their successful suppression
