Biological invasions can be represented by plants, animals and even micro-organisms, animals and even micro-organisms. They occur when alien species arrive at a new site species arrive at a new site where they can potentially establish themselves and reproduce, sometimes at a very and reproduce, sometimes in a very accelerated manner. This makes their effects very difficult to predict. Biological invasions of plants are becoming more and more frequent globally and are considered to be one of the most important and are considered one of the main causes of biodiversity loss. biodiversity. Their effects alter the processes occurring within ecosystems, affecting within ecosystems, affecting the composition and structure of native plant communities. and structure of native plant communities. This occurs mainly through the fragmentation of forests, leading to the emergence of new invasion hotspots. of invasion. Invasive plant species are organisms that have a superior ability to adapt to new conditions. superior ability to adapt to new environmental conditions, which, unlike other plants, allows them to establish a wide range of distribution and settlement in habitats. distribution and establishment in habitats already occupied by other species (Sakai et al., 2001). (Sakai et al, 2001). These species are also known to cause loss of biological diversity through of biological diversity by generating competition and altering the spaces of native plants. of native plants. The process of mobilisation of invasive species begins with the direct or indirect movement by humans and the subsequent colonisation of the plant into the ecosystem. colonisation of the plant into the ecosystem, leading to a successful invasion. successful invasion. It is worth noting that most invasive species have a high reproductive rate and a wide a high reproduction rate and a wide range of adaptation, thus determining the success of these species. determining the success of these species. In addition, their success depends on the the benefits that the receiving ecosystem can provide (Rios & Vargas, 2003).
