Identifying and ascribing the relative significance of introduction pathways for non-native plants into Iceland
Abstract The study is aimed at identifying pathways frequently used by non-native plant species, assessing their relative significance and development in time. Pathways were defined following NOBANIS framework (Madsen et al., 2014). Species assessments were based on HARMONIA scheme (Branquart, 2007)...
