Def<strong>in</strong>itions<br />

CBD def<strong>in</strong>ition (!)<br />

Included: quickly spread<strong>in</strong>g naturalized alien<br />

plants, that cause significant changes <strong>in</strong><br />

structure and/or function <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>vaded<br />

(semi)natural ecosystem<br />

Excluded: weeds, harmful only to<br />

human/domestic animals/economy,<br />

ephemerophytes, low impact agriophytes,<br />

autochtonous quickly spread<strong>in</strong>g plants etc.
