Biodiversity Within and Beyond the Native Distribution of Tree Species: The Case of Pinus nigra Forests in Europe

[Aim] Forests dominated by non-native trees are becoming increasingly common. However, their impact on biodiversity remainsuncertain, with a debate on whether they represent ‘green deserts’ or secondary habitats for biodiversity. We addressed this ques-tion by evaluating the patterns and ecological...

Sumario:[Aim] Forests dominated by non-native trees are becoming increasingly common. However, their impact on biodiversity remainsuncertain, with a debate on whether they represent ‘green deserts’ or secondary habitats for biodiversity. We addressed this ques-tion by evaluating the patterns and ecological drivers of taxonomic and functional understory diversity between black pine (Pinusnigra) forests within and outside its native distribution range.
