The effects of protected areas in Nepal as a barrier against plant invasions are associated with lower propagule pressure and less intensive disturbance
Original language description
Protected areas are established to conserve global biodiversity threatened by various factors, including invasive plants. We recorded naturalised alien plants inside and outside of protected areas to test whether they act as a barrier against the spread of alien plants in protected areas of Nepal on the central Himalayan foothills. Using 6-km transects and 30 × 30 m plots at 300 m intervals we analysed how the representation of naturalised plants changed with increasing distance from the boundary in both directions. Overall, the richness and Shannon diversity of naturalised plants were significantly higher outside than inside the protected areas. When all protected areas were evaluated together, naturalised plant species richness and diversity decreased significantly from the outside to the interior of the parks, even after accounting for the selected potentially confounded factors. Naturalised plant species are less represented within protected areas than outside their boundaries, which is partly due to lower propagule pressure and less intensive disturbances.
