Distributional Patterns of Alien Plants in China: The Relative Importance of Phylogenetic History and Functional Attributes
Table 2
Standardized phylogenetic NRI and NTI indices of origin of distribution, flowering time, life form, reproduction mode, and introduction pathway of alien plants in China, both were resulted form 3000 randomization runs. “” indicated number of taxa included by each category of the subject. The columns other than the first one were the categories of each functional trait. Origin of distribution has five categories: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Mediterranean. Flowering time has five categories: spring, summer, autumn, winter, and year-around. Life form has five categories: annual grass, perennial grass, liane, shrub, and arbor. Introduction pathway has four categories: human, animal, human-animal, and abiotic factors. Reproduction mode has two categories: seed and seed-vegetative.
