Abstract

Urban areas are strongly transformed by the human population and these environmental changes can affect the richness and composition of invasive alien trees (IAT) across cities. In this study, we investigate the role of urbanization and climate variables on richness and species composition of IAT in cities from Brazil. We investigated (i) the relative contribution and how variables related to urbanization affects the patterns of richness and composition; and (ii) the relative contribution and how variables related to climate affects richness and composition of IAT. Thus, we used occurrences of IAT in 93 urban areas in Brazil gathered from 130 references. We tested the variation partitioning using three models with variables related to urbanization, climate, and spatial correlation for richness and species composition of IAT. Next, we tested the significance of each set of variables on the richness and species composition of IAT. Urbanization variables explained 18% of the variation in species richness of IAT, whereas climate explained 18% of the variation in species composition of IAT. Demographic density (habitants per km²) positively affected the richness of IAT, whereas the percentage of urban forest influenced species composition. Köppen climate zones affected richness while the covariate temperature annual range had a negative effect on richness. Temperature annual range, annual precipitation, precipitation of driest quarter, and precipitation of warmest quarter affected the species composition of IAT. We confirmed urban variables have a relevant influence on species richness, but climate variables are still important to understand the composition of IAT across cities. Thus, species richness is affected at a local scale by urbanization, and species composition by climate at broader scales.
