Abstract

As a result of the global problem of invasion, the number of studies dealing with plant invasion is increasing, thus causing increasing confusion about terminology used. As a part of the first national project about invasive Croatian flora in 2006, we prepared a proposal for a national standard terminology and criteria for the treatment of alien flora. This proposal includes regular terminology globally accepted in most botanical communities, but it is especially harmonized with European standards for alien flora treatment, particularly for invasive alien plant species (IAS). Special attention was paid to defining the criteria for status of plant species potentially invasive in Croatia, such as origin status, residence status and invasion status, for which a special module »Allochthonous plants« within Flora Croatica Database was prepared.

Keywords

alien flora; invasive alien plant species (IAS); standardization of terminology; standardization of criteria; Flora Croatica Database module »Allochthonous plants«; Croatia
