Invasive Alien Plants in the Tuscan Archipelago: threats to Nature2000 habitats and impacts on native vegetation.

We present an overview of a comprehensive and multi-approach studies of plant invasions in a Mediterranean island context such us the Tuscan Archipelago (Central Mediterranean, Italy). We used Suitability Habitat Modelling (SHM) to produce a map of risk of invasion ofthe Island of Elba based on both the threat of invasion by invasive plants and the distribution of Nature2000 habitats. We subsequently provide data regarding the impacts of the most invasive alien species (such as Acacia dealbata, A. pycnantha and Carpobrotus spp.) in different contexts across the Archipelago.
