Cadastre of invasive plant species of the Altai krai

Cadastre of invasive plant species of the Altai Territory. The purpose of developing the database was to study the invasive activity of adventive plant species in the Altai Territory. The database facilitated the formation of a cadastre of alien species to control and prevent biological invasions by taking into account the ecological and biological features of the species. In addition, the database makes it possible to identify the patterns of formation of the adventive flora, to predict the further distribution of the species. Taking into account the development of the agrarian and touristic sectors of the Altai Region's economy, it should be noted the importance of an increasing number of adventive plants, numbering more than 300 species today (60 most aggressive are represented in the database).
