Habitats differ considerably in their invasibility. The differences in the level of invasion between Central European habitats are mainly caused by inherent habitat properties, and to a lesser extent by propagule pressure and climatic differences between regions. Patterns of habitat invasion are consistent across different regions of Europe. The same habitats usually have either high or low level of invasion despite their geographical location. The most invasible habitats are those with fluctuating availability of resources, especially nutrients; most of these habitats are frequently and/or strongly disturbed. Spatially explicit information on habitat invasions can be used to identify the areas of highest risk of invasion so as to support effective monitoring and management of alien plants; combined with scenarios of future landuse change, it may also be used for prediction of invasion risks in the future.
