Abstract

For 45 introduced Pinaceae species planted 100 years ago on an island dominated by native forests in Patagonia, and for the subset of 24 species naturalized on this island, we evaluated the relationship between traits (seed mass, maximum height, wood density, juvenile period and interval between large seed crops) and invasion incidence (whether a species has become invasive or not) or extent (number of invaded transects across the study area).
