摘要

The spread of invasive plant species is influenced by various geographic factors such as the topography, climate, soil and hydrology, but the importance of each factor varies according to the species. Another major influencing factor that must be considered is historical and recent changes in Land Use/Land Cover (LULC). LULC changes may support the appearance of some invasive species, but there is uncertainty over the persistence of their effects on biological invasion. This study investigated the potential connections between historical LULC patterns over the past 200 years and the recent emergence of four common invasive plant species in Hungary: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Asclepias syriaca (common milkweed), Elaeagnus angustifolia (Russian olive) and Solidago spp. (goldenrod). Geographic Information System (GIS) data and statistical methods were used to compare historical (1848–1990) and recent (1990–2018) LULC changes with the occurrence patterns of these invasive plants in 2018. The results indicated that Asclepias syriaca is more influenced by recent LULC changes while Ailanthus altissima, Elaeagnus angustifolia and Solidago spp. are more affected by historical LULC changes. Ailanthus altissima and Eelaeagnus angustifolia tend to thrive in areas experiencing more intense LULC changes. Asclepias syriaca was more often found in areas with mixed and decreasing LULC change intensities while Solidago spp. prefers areas with continuously increasing and decreasing LULC change intensities.
