Abstract

A check list of the alien flora of Bizkaia (Basque Country) comprising 407 taxa is provided in this paper. We consider that 81 species onthis list are invasive. We analyzed the vascular alien flora, which represents 23.4% of the total flora of the Basque Autonomous Region and 85.1% of the total non native flora that grow in this particular territory. For each species we also studied the origin, distribution, method of introduction, biological type, xenotype, ecology, first report of the plant and status of invasion. Most of the alien plants are distributed throughout the lowland areas of the Cantabrian slope near the coast, where there is a high... (Leer más) population density and favourable climatic conditions, particularly in disturbed areas. By analyzing the ecology of these species we are able to improve the categories of invasion following the most recent methodologies.
