Naturalized and invasive alien flora of Ghana

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper provides an inventory of the naturalized vascular flora of Ghana, based on newly gathered information from the literature and consultations with local experts. We recorded 291 species of naturalized alien plants, of which 25 are classified as invasive. There are 21 widely distributed species that occur in at least eight regions, and five of them are distributed all over the country: Azadirachta indica, Echinochloa colona, Leucaena leucocephala, Senna occidentalis and S. siamea. The majority of species have their native range in South and North America, contributing 161 and 127 species, respectively, but only three species have their origin in Europe. The numbers of naturalized species in the administrative regions of Ghana varied from 34 in Upper West to 173 in Greater Accra. These numbers increased with human population density and decreased with distance from the sea, but this pattern was driven by the city of Accra region. The only predictor that remained significant after removing this outlier was the amount of precipitation in the dry period, which was positively associated with the regional richness of naturalized species.
