Mountain roads shift native and non-native plant species' ranges Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek Universiteit Antwerpen
Roads are known to act as corridors for dispersal of plant species. With their variable microclimate, role as corridors for species movement and reoccurring disturbance events, they show several characteristics that might infl uence range dynamics of both native and non-native species. Previous research on plant species ranges in mountains however seldom included the effects of roads. To study how ranges of native and non-native species diff er ...
