Study Extent
Archipielago of Cuba, for the last year ( 2017-2022)Sampling
Update the list of invasive plants in Cuba based on a comprehensive compilation of novel non native plants species behaving as invasive in Cuba.

Introduced plant species considered by us as potentially become invasive in the short-term were also listed and presented as taxa non invasive that should be keep under surveillance.Method steps
- Identification of the new invasive plant species in Cuba based on personal field observations, recent literature, consultation to experts, herbaria and specialized taxonomic and invasive databases and compendiums. Update the last version of the checklist, and addition of common names registered, also degree of establishment and invasion pathway both based on information gathered during last 15 years of research distribution and spread of alien invasive plants in Cuba.
