To identify potential future tree invasive species, we need to better understand the mechanisms underlying their abundances in their new ranges, and whether these mechanisms differ between their native and alien ranges. By combining three global plant databases: sPlot vegetation-plot database, TRY plant trait database and Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) database, we found that in both ranges, species reach highest abundance if they are functionally similar to co-occurring species, yet are taller and have higher seed mass and wood density than co-occurring species. Our results suggest that light limitation leads to strong environmental and biotic filtering, and that it is advantageous to be taller and have denser wood. The striking similarities in abundance between native and alien ranges imply that information from tree species native ranges can be used to predict in which habitats introduced species may become dominant.
