Abstract

The paper presents an inventory and distribution of invasive alien species, in “Iron Gates” Natural Park, especially to highlight their origins, the most aggressive alien species, and their impact on conservation status of habitats, and indirectly their economic and sociological impact on the human communities.

This study may have an important role in improving the efficiency of conservation measures, offering valuable information to authorities involved in protected areas administration.
