Zone de Texte: Invasive alien species: 	a species, subspecies or lower taxon,(according to CBD) 	introduced outside its natural past or present 			distribution whose introduction and/or spread 			threatens biological diversity. 		

There are many desirable alien plants, embellishing parks, gardens, and landscapes. Only very few cause problems, but these problems can be massive.

„Tens Rule“: 10 % of introduced species spread, 10 % of these establish, and 10 % of the established species cause problems (= 0,1%). 

? PRA is important to identify these few species!
