[APWG] Invasive plants and climate change

[Pamela Zevit]

I noted this posting today:

The invasive species are likely to spread to a community not adapted to climate change. “Climate change increases environmental fluctuations and extreme weather phenomena. They generate many kinds of problems in the nature. A study conducted at the University of Jyvaskyla has shown that varying environmental conditions increase the potential for invasive species to spread.”
