Geographical distribution of the dispersal ability of alien plant species in China and its socio-climatic control factors

Abstract Dispersal ability is important for the introduction, establishment, and spread of alien plant species. Therefore, determination of the geographical distribution of the dispersal ability of such species, and the relationship between dispersal ability and socio-climatic factors are essential...
